"Today is the day"... the few simple
words that would change my life more than I could have ever imagined.
A year ago, those 4 simple words began 60
continuous days dedicated to sharing something I had strived so hard to hide
for 27 years. It was time to allow people into my life, exposing a world I had
always meticulously kept concealed from everyone. It would expose my life with
Cystic Fibrosis and all its harsh realities. Most of all though, those 60
days were dedicated to showing how truly grateful I was for every relationship,
opportunity, and beautiful breath I had been given. That immense
gratitude has only grown and made me more aware of just how beautiful my life
is, CF and all.
Today begins a new 60 days. Each entry will be
leading up to the Great Strides Walk on Saturday, May 30 in Sioux Falls, SD.
Each post will be a reflection of the beauty that lies within every
breath of my life.
The Challenge
Look around. Take a deep breath. Whether it is a
day filled with endless sunshine or one of the more difficult days we've
endured, they are all connected by the beauty that lives within every breath
that sustains them. There is so much beauty that surrounds each of us, we just
have to open our eyes and realize it.
This 60 days is for you, for me, for seeking out
the beauty that fills every breath. I challenge you to join me in
intentionally living every day to its fullest.
For the next 60 days I
challenge you to take a moment every day and capture the beauty that fills your
life.
Become a part of the challenge.
1. Capture a beautiful moment every day for 60
days.
2. Each day share your picture with us:
Facebook -

Instagram - breathe.bravely
Twitter -

3. Add the hashtag #breathebravely60 to your post
and tag Breathe Bravely in your photo!
Can you imagine all the beauty that will be shared
every day? What will the end of 60 days look like? Each picture will be as
unique and as beautiful as you: filled with so much life.
For You
This blog has always been and still is for all of
you who have so greatly impacted my life and selflessly fought for me: for
every beautiful breath. Thank you. Love to you all.
Find the beauty in every breath today.
