It's a Miracle

It's Monday, the last day of November
and it's hard to believe that tomorrow
begins the final month of the year.

I woke up this morning, uninspired.

I'd just spent the last several days dealing
with a flare up of Fibro that had nearly
knocked me off my feet.

The pain can sometimes be overwhelming
and the memory fog can make thinking a
little difficult.

I've been sitting here at the computer for
over 2 hours now, unable to find my Miracle.

It's not easy finding a Miracle every week.

But then, I heard from my friend Bonnie who
is one of our team members in New York.

Bonnie has been an inspiration to me this
year.

I've watched her grow and become an independent
entrepreneur despite much adversity.

She struggles with friends and family
who don't want her to grow.

They'd prefer to keep her in her little box,
safe and sound.

We talked about growing despite obstacles.

That's when Bonnie suggested that I talk about
working past the pain.

Growing is Painful, ask any child who is
suffering from growing pains.

It is no less for us as adults when we undertake
a new path or grow in a direction different from
those we love.

Sometimes it hurts.

But, is that a reason to STOP???

Is that a reason to give in to the pain and
crawl up into a ball and give up???

I think NOT.

My challenge with Fibro these past few
months has been tough.

If I had succumbed, I might not have gone
to Vegas to meet my new friends, or gone
to New York for Bonnie's birthday or I may
have even canceled my speaking engagement
with Dale last month.

It was painful, but the rewards out-weighed
the pain.

Life is pretty much about working past
the pain.

Something will ALWAYS come up to
challenge your commitment.

Working past the pain is what produces
the Miracle.

Don't let anything stand in the way of
your own personal Miracle.
