This is something I believe that with the right diet, lifestyle and mindset can either be completely bypassed, or overcome. I really want to see Kris Carr's documentary- just the trailer itself drew me in. I am not personally dealing with cancer, but I know, have known and will know someone who is dealing with it. Her mindset got her through and above any other method of treatment- she decided that she was going to live. I love that!
But why does it take disease for some of us to begin to wake up to life? I don't want to have to wait for something detrimental to happen to me for my eyes to open. Why do I bring this up? Because how many of us have that unwritten or unspoken bucket list we've always dreamt about? Or that hobby that we just love to do that we "just don't have the time for"?
Why wait? I've watched more than my share of her inspiring videos on YouTube (more of her that I will share in the future). Why wait until tomorrow to live your life? Why is "another day" just better than right NOW?
I say, let's stop. Breath, and do it. Just do it! That's what I'm all about.
What if we don't have tomorrow? In a way, it's a blessing to think like this, because if we're always waiting for tomorrow, when will our lives ever be fully lived?
You may think what I'm about to say is a bit silly- but I LOVE dancing! That's all I want to do. And from the Crazy Sexy Cancer trailer it has inspired me to make time to just dance, even if it's to ONE song daily! That's it! That's my goal right now is to get back in touch with that ultra creative, physical side of me and just let loose- even if it's just with my son. He's much more entertaining to dance with then bumping into drunk people at a club anyways :)
What is it that you've been wanting to do, but just haven't given yourself permission, or simply just the time to do?

That video was amazing. When I was a teenager I got damage to my spinal cord and started using a wheelchair and was (and still am) quite ill. I look at friends, family, even strangers who are able, and wish they would do the things on their bucket lists, because you never know what tomorrow will bring. Thanks for sharing this!

I think this trailer is pretty inspiring myself.
Even with your limitations now, is there something that you can, and would love to do?
I myself have some limitations due to health but I still have a bucket list- one was to get over my fear of water- I snorkelled with sea turtles and I'll never regret scratching that one off my list. Some others are to travel the world, and live in a different country.
What about you?
