hello, lovely!

Well my friend, you’ve heard the words. You’ve said them to your kids, your friends, and your BFF.  You’ve said them to yourself … A.LOT.

Be BRAVE! FEARLESS! FREE!

I’ve said them to myself too. And at a point in my 40+ years (cue wise grin), I asked myself what do they really even mean? When life is full of stress, mommy-ing, marriage, and careers aren’t exactly easy, life-changing diagnosis’s or devastating news can come without notice… can we really choose to “be brave”? “fearless” Like no fear? Really? And free?

Been there. Tried it. Worked harder and longer. Was nicer. Did more. With every single situation, diagnosis, or life-changing event, we can have our BFF.

Our brave, fearless, and free.

Read all the books and attended the seminars. Wore the right clothes. Said the right things, followed the rules … and life still happened.

It was then I connected the dots. What does all this mean? It means having the true definition of a BFF. Not a best friend forever, but our very own BFF.

A Brave, Fearless and Free life.

A BFF life with courage, faith, and without the labels that hold us back. A life in which we can make more decisions, get un-stuck and live whole heartedly.

When my first daughter Ali was born, she was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. With Alex just two weeks old and me just twenty-five, I found myself in a stale, white hospital room, having a conversation with four people: the CF doctor, the nurse, a social worker, and a nutritionist.

I sat almost numb as they matter-of-factly explained that children born with CF have a 50% chance of making it through childhood. That her disease can devastate most families financially and it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for care throughout her life.

As I heard them describe all that would limit and challenge us, I felt shocked and devastated. I don’t remember hearing a single positive word. This was not the life I had imagined.  What would this mean for my family?  What would this mean for me?

A Brave, Fearless and Free life.

A BFF life with courage, faith, and without the labels that hold us back. A life in which we can make more decisions, get un-stuck and live whole heartedly.
