re-inspired


It has been a while since I've posted on my blog! lol I don't think anyone reads this but I know I do =] I guess I haven't posted anything because I lost my inspiration, my drive to be creative...I was so excited to be making my cards...then I had a setback...someone said " I get cards and I just throw them away"..When I heard her say that, I thought, why put my heart and soul into a card if they're just going to throw it in the garbage? I like things to be functional and when I make my cards, I think that the actual words written in the card is the most important thing...second is the actual card...can it be framed or can it be put in a scrapbook? My next project is putting my photos on a card...
I had a setback and now I'm re-inspired....I realize once again the life is way too short...if I want to do something, I need to just do it, I need to just go for what my mind and heart wants to do...life is full of unexpectations....a few days ago, I found out that a colleague of mine was diagnosed with a type of stage 4 brain cancer....one day she is this active, healthy, and happy young woman and she went to the E.R for a massive headache, only to find that she has cancer....now she has left side paralysis and is getting ready for the battle for her life with a prognosis of 14% that she will live 5 years more...how does this happen to someone who is so positive and full of life...despite the poor prognosis, I am hopeful and sending out my prayers and positive vibes! It really hits home to me...that I know someone who is young and healthy and now has stage 4 brain cancer....I don't know what to say anymore...
