I am a work in progress.....

Everyone has their own way of dealing with life and the everyday struggles we all encounter. Some people take their frustrations out on a pillow, others scream out loud, for some it is yoga, or working out at the gym. But me, I write. I don't write to see how may "likes" or "comments" I get. I write because it is my way of releasing all of the emotion I have inside of me. I appreciate everyone who reads what I write, but if no one was reading what I wrote I would still write anyway! It is my therapy. You might say, well write in a journal, write it in a letter and tear it up, you don't have to share it with everyone, and that is your opinion. I choose to believe that God has placed me on this earth for a reason, a purpose and that by me sharing, I might help another, and they might help another, as the cycle goes. I am a real, honest, person. Yes, I have my good and bad days just like everyone else, but 99% of the time you are going to get the same Danielle, every time we meet. While I was born with a congenital heart defect that has followed me into my adult life and yes, I have been coined "disabled" and the disease at times is disabling, I will not for one second stop living! Every night when I go to bed I pray. I always pray that God will help me to be more like Jesus, to be the hands and feet of Jesus to everyone I meet! I want to show love, respect, mercy and try to give hope to those I see everyday whether or not I get it in return. Call me crazy, but I love helping other people. I don't do it to get something in return or to hear everyone say "wow, she is so nice". It is in my make-up! I am not ashamed of where I came from, my family, or anything that I have been through. I would live the same life over again if I could. All of this has made me who I am. Who am I, you might ask?? I am Me! God made Me and there is nothing more I could be more grateful for!
