I am invincible, unbreakable
Unstoppable, unshakeable
They knock me down, I get up again
I am the champion
You’re gonna know my name
You can’t hurt me now
I can’t feel the pain
I was made for this, yeah, I was born to win
I am the champion
– Carrie Underwood featuring Ludacris, “The Champion”

Recently I heard “The Champion” by Carrie Underwood featuring Ludacris I felt like the song was written about my Superhero Catherine Constantinides she just keeps going no matter what life throws at her it’s amazing she is the champion and my champion which inspires me to be one every day. Listen to “The Champion” by Carrie Underwood featuring Ludacris below:

Time stands still for nobody– that’s what I want the world to know.

Yesterday I realized with a tinge of sadness that my parents are growing old at the exact time it feels like my life is just starting which makes things complicated for me because I need a lot of physical help to survive and thrive (I want to travel, meet new people and continue making a difference I don’t know how that’s going to work in this situation it’s nobody’s fault it just is what it is).
May our actions match our prayers– that’s my wish for the world.

Today I was reminded that it doesn’t help for me to pray to God to help me do the right thing even when it’s hard if I don’t choose to do the right thing when it’s hard.
Life is an exercise in collaboration not competition– that’s my message to the world.

Today I realized that if you have the courage and persistence to carry on when the world says no things tend to work out (we often give up to easily in life but if we have the courage to ask when we think people say no and carry on if they do success will be ours)
Nobody can leave you because nobody is an extension of you – that’s what I keep being reminded of.

Yesterday in a vlog entitled “I Don’t Know Much” Jodene Shaer suggested that instead of making New Year’s Resolutions and To-Do Lists we should make a list of what we love and although I’ll continue to keep my 2018 Goals list I have also decided to list of things I love as per Jodene’s suggestion. Take a look:

I love my favourite women in green glasses Ella Bella (she’s so herself all the time it makes my heart smile)
I love giving, serving and being kind – I LOVE making a difference and being the difference (nobody has truly lived until they’ve seen wonderment in a child’s eyes I would give every last cent I had and even the shirt off my back to see that look again)
I love MiracleFeet and the work they do (with $250 and no surgery they change the trajectory of a clubfoot-affected child’s life it’s really extraordinary)
