"We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face....we must do that which we think we cannot."

Strong Women!

Happy Mother's Day!!   Here's a tribute to the strength of women everywhere.  These two ladies are not mothers, but they demonstrate an incredible inner strength and the ability to beat the odds not only to survive but THRIVE!  Hope this inspires you in some small way to overcome a challenge, live healthier, find peace or simply choose to be grateful. Thanks to all the women in my life who inspire me to be the best mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend.  Love you all!   
She is 48, a teacher, a triathlete and a cancer survivor.  She lost her leg and lung to cancer, but yet she  perseveres to amazing heights. Wow! 

While serving in the Army in Iraq, she lost her leg in a roadside bomb.  Six years after that accident she is one of the top paratriathletes in the world.
