You are not JUST.....

I'm back!! What a summer! Goodness, where does the time go? It is definitely true after you have children, time goes by faster. It's already SEPTEMBER! Anyways, I have been traveling a lot in the past few months. One of my truths is the more you travel, the more you think about life and how amazing it is.  So….I was running around today and finally had a little time to carve out and give blood. 

My mom found out she had Leukemia by giving blood. They told her she needed to go to the hospital asap because her iron was so low. A week later she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and started chemo. I believe they saved her life and not sure what would have happened if they hadn't caught it so soon.

I promised my mom I would give blood as much as possible in my life. It saves 3 peoples lives and it's free…Soooo..Go do it! :)

This is not about going to give blood. It's about what I said when I walked in and up to the front desk… I didn't have an appointment and never do..I said, "I'm just a walk-in." JUST a walk-in. The man says, "JUST?... No, you are a walk-in. That's important." WOW….. It hit me there as I sat down.. I say that ALL the time. About everything in my life. I'm just a walk-in. I'm just a Mom. I'm just a friend. 

I'm just a sister.. You get the picture. 

I JUST stay at home with my children. I JUST work a full time job and THEN go home and am I MOM, WIFE, and short order cook, maid, taxi driver, etc. We have so many labels and sometimes... I mean most of the time don't give ourselves and others enough credit. Today, I was not JUST a walk-in. I helped an extraordinary cause that saves lives. We all matter. Each and every one of you matter. Most likely, You are the most important person to someone else and may not even realize it. You maybe that person your friend calls when she is down and out and knows YOU will be the only person to cheer her up. Don't you see how BIG of a difference YOU can make? Find a PASSION and run with it! Who cares if someone thinks it's dumb, ridiculous, not going to pay you, has no retirement, overtime..It's yours:) 

Mine is AdvoCare and I'm sure you guys know that but there is NOTHING better than just today my friend texted me and said I've lost 4 lbs in 3 days..And she run marathons so it's not like she's a bum in the exercise/fitness department. That is POWERFUL! The thing is those kind of feelings of being a friend and helping others is very contagious. You want to do it more. And more. And more. I LOVE meeting new people. Do you know why? Because EVERYONE wants the same thing…To have an incredible life with their loved ones. To have amazing adventures with them and make memories. To feel great and have energy for their passions. To feel comfortable in their own skin. And to be loved. It's that easy..If you can genuinely make someone feel better and serve others, you will be wealthy in all aspects of your life. 

Today you look in the mirror and tell yourself how much you matter. If you have a heart beat, you are still on this earth for a reason. Figure it out as fast as you can and help others with that talent. I love you guys. Thanks for reading!
