This book [Perseverance] is the result of one of my lifelong passions – a desire to help kids with life-threatening illnesses. It started when, as a young child, I became immersed in a world intrinsically different from my own. When I was six, I went with my parents to visit Camp Sunshine, a camp run by their friends. Camp Sunshine was and still is a retreat in Casco, Maine for children with cancer. Even though I had never been through cancer, I began to understand the impact of this disease at a very personal level. During this visit, I had developed a deep connection to children with cancer. Though I didn’t know it, that visit was going to change my life, and redefine my concept of courage forever.

Freed from the fear of rejection by their peers and the isolation of their hospital rooms, at Camp Sunshine children facing cancer could just be “normal” kids. From what they told me, the psychological issues faced by most kids going through cancer treatment were ubiquitous. Returning to the camp eight years later when I was fourteen, I was again overwhelmed by the strength and courage of my peers with cancer.

Returning to my “normal” life at home after the second visit was difficult. I was older, and more aware of the campers’ struggles. That year, I founded Carolyn’s Compassionate Children (CCC), an organization to help children with cancer and other serious illnesses.

CCC began as a pen-pal program connecting children who had cancer with their healthy peers. When I was fifteen, my foundation became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It was a success, but I wanted to do more.

CCC has flourished in the nine [now: 10] years since I founded it. CCC has awarded 100 college scholarships to childhood cancer survivors across the nation. Currently, the mission of CCC is to improve the quality of life for young adult cancer survivors by increasing the opportunity for college access.

At the beginning of my spring semester freshman year at Duke University, I worked with a child in a documentary studies class examining childhood illness. The purpose of the class was to help a child facing cancer document his or her life through photography. Each student in the class was paired with one child.

I was paired with ten-year-old Kadeejah. I visited her at Duke Hospital every day. She smiled regardless of how she felt. She filled the bleakest days with sunshine. She loved to hold my hand. I gave her a teddy bear on her eleventh birthday, St. Patrick’s Day.

And then I watched her slowly slip away from me.

The last time I saw her, she was lying unconscious in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with the teddy bear in her arms. I kissed her on the cheek and said goodbye.

I came to believe that every life has a purpose. Kadeejah and I were brought together for a reason. She taught me the value of now – this moment, today. Kadeejah spent every spare moment creating art. She never tired of these projects and as soon as she finished one creation, she went on to the next. I determined to spread Kadeejah’s passion for life to as many people as I could reach. This book is my first step toward realizing this goal.

… We all have journeys into uncharted territories that we must take alone. But I have learned that we aren’t necessarily alone. No matter how dark the moment, brave souls have already walked the same path. The purpose of this book is to shine a light on the path each of us takes.

: : :

Kadeejah’s beautiful memory and unbelievable courage shine a light for me, allowing me to share these words with you in celebration of Kadeejah’s life, and in particular, Kadeejah’s birthday.

To watch me read this excerpt from the book, you can see my personal video on Spring.

Please consider making a donation in memory of Kadeejah to support the Kadeejah Moore Memorial Fund. Every dollar counts.

To live wholeheartedly and authentically requires worthiness. It is an essential ingredient too often overlooked. We are bombarded constantly with thoughts of “not being enough” – primarily working subconsciously. And these undetected thoughts lead us to underestimate ourselves – to feel as if we are in a never ending race (opponent: ourselves). It’s exhausting and self-defeating to let these thoughts remain in control.

As I write this post, I recognize the presence of these thoughts.

- What do I know about worthiness?
- No one cares what I have to say.
- I’m just wasting my time.

These negative thoughts stem from what Martha Beck calls our social self. “The social self is based on principles that often run contrary to our core desires. Its job is to know when those desires will upset other people, and to help us override natural inclinations that aren’t socially acceptable.” She further describes the basic operations of the social self as avoidance-based, conforming, imitative, predictable, planning, and hardworking. The social self is a wonderful navigational tool; however, it must be aligned with our essential self in order to guide us in a positive direction. Your essential self is “… the basic you, stripped of options and special features.…” Its basic operations include attraction-based, unique, inventive, surprising, spontaneous, and playful.

Another way to think of the difference between these two parts of your “self” is to think of your right and left brain. Your left brain is more analytical and critical while your right brain is more creative and carefree. When we act primarily with our left brain, we tend to spiral into a cloud of self-defeating thoughts; however, when we utilize both our left brain and our right brain, we are able to let go of many of the burdens and ideals we place upon ourselves. We have greater clarity and are much better at rationalizing.

The Bottom Line: To believe that you are worthy. To know that you are good enough – regardless of extrinsic circumstances – you must recognize what is causing these thoughts to question your worth. No one measures your self-worth but YOU.

I’ll be worthy if …

Self-defeating thoughts challenge our self-worth. They break down our confidence. They maintain this powerful control until we decide to: (a) mindfully recognize these thoughts and (b) challenge them. These two steps are critical and can’t be reinforced enough within our lives.
: :

In a blog post encouraging individuals to dedicate this week to worthiness, Dr. Brené Brown writes:

Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of worthiness. It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, No matter what gets done and how much is left undone; I am enough.

It’s going to bed at night thinking, Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t change the truth that I am worthy of love and belonging.

So many of us have knowingly created / unknowingly allowed / or been handed down a long list of worthiness “prerequisites.”

Here’s what is truly at the heart of Wholeheartedness:
Worthy NOW! Not when. Not if. We are worthy of love and belonging NOW. Right this minute. As is.
: :

The Take Home Message

Exercise your worthiness muscle.
Remember: You are enough.

Learn to pause…or nothing worthwhile will catch up to you.
-Doug King

In our fast-paced, multitasking, day-to-day lives, we often find ourselves adrift in chaos. Within this chaos, finding our inner calm is just as important —actually more so — than completing our next task. It allows us to recharge and breathe just a bit easier. It’s incredible what just five minutes of serenity can do for your energy level and mental state.

Now, think about how you currently deal with chaotic moments in your life. If you would like to change your current response to those chaotic moments, create a serenity trigger that will help you find a peaceful place whenever the need arises. This trigger serves as a reminder for you to take a few minutes away from what you’re doing to find serenity amidst chaos. It could be as simple as an image or a positive word/phrase.

This trigger serves as a personal anchor to help you find serenity and return to it over and over again. It allows you to take time to refresh and refocus. These simple moments of calm will make a difference in both your attitude and energy level.

Take Home Message:

Find serenity amidst chaos by utilizing a serenity trigger. Indulge yourself in the beauty that unfolds within these moments of calm.

An Example:

My primary serenity trigger is an image of a beautiful flower blooming within a simple mason jar. Simple, yet a powerful reminder for me that much like that flower, in order to bloom, I need specific nutrients. One such nutrient: serenity.

What is one of your serenity triggers?

1. My view
Every morning I am greeted by an incredible view of Lake Ontario. Some days are dreary, some are spectacular, but every day greets me with a huge expanse of water and sky. I know anything is possible.

2. My children
They are really remarkable. To have four individuals so completely different from each other, but to have such strong character traits, is exhausting and stimulating. Watching them grow, guiding them through their choices, laughing with them every day, is more than I ever dreamed possible. It is a privilege to be their mama.

3. My morning routine
I wake around 5AM to a steaming cup of coffee and all the goodness to be found on my google reader. I sit in the silence, the room illuminated by the computer screen and absorb all kinds of wonderful words and images from all kinds of creative and thoughtful people from all over the world.

4. Hockey
It never occurred to me that I would spend so much time in a hockey rink. I spend hours upon hours in rinks watching practices and games. It is one example of being pleasantly surprised by the unexpected joy we find in hockey.

5. Order
Inasmuch as I can appreciate the unexpected, order makes me happy! When the stars align and everything has been picked up and put in its place, order restored. It is a rare thing, but it fills me with joy when it happens.

6. Silence
My life is generally chaotic with the comings and goings of the kids and friends, music playing, cellular phones ringing and beeping, the laughter, the fighting, the crazy. I really enjoy the rare moments of silence.

7. White Peonies in my garden
This is the year that I’m going to get my act together and plant an impossible number of white peonies in my garden. Right now I have a few, but not enough. I’m going to make sure that the view out every window includes white peonies.

8. Summers at the beach
For two weeks each summer we head to Cape Cod where our kids enjoy the familiarity of the same location and the wonder of changes from year to year. I can measure their growth by how their interests change and their explorations become more and more independent.

9. Words
I love words; I use them as décor, as tools, as a method for communicating simple and complex thoughts. I love watching them form on paper, on the screen, carved in stone, in conversation.

10. Photography
I have always had a camera in my hand. I used to think I took pretty good photos, but over the last year I’ve put more of an effort into learning the art of light and angles and can really see that my shots are not just lucky, but consistently good.

About Lee

I live a very suburban existence just outside of Toronto, Ontario on the shore of Lake Ontario. I am a very involved mother of our active children: Claire (14), Cole (13); Chloe (10) and Caden (9) and the wife of one entrepreneurial husband, Louis. Never a dull moment in or out of my house: many hours are spent in hockey rinks, in gymnasiums, at ball diamonds, on school grounds, on riverbanks and in auditoriums as parent, spectator and volunteer. Going at a break-neck pace is not always a good thing, so to slow things down and add perspective, I document these events and the more everyday happenings. I want for my kids to look back at their childhoods and there be something to see. My spare time is spent making a mess in my studio, on the computer writing and blogging, and everywhere else playing with my Canon 40D. Enjoying the exploration and figuring out what to do next!

When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability…To be alive is to be vulnerable.
-Madeleine L’Engle

Embracing vulnerability is one of the toughest challenges. Being vulnerable means accepting the unknown and uncontrollable. The protective walls of “perfection” are removed. And our authentic self  is fully present. While one of the greatest challenges, embracing vulnerability is also one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.

With all the pain and challenges in life, it would seem foolhardy to encourage vulnerability.  However, there are benefits to allowing yourself to be open to the unknown and accepting your inability to handle every situation by yourself.

Take a moment to think of a time that you were vulnerable.

Perhaps it was the moment when you first told someone that you loved them?  Or maybe it was the last time you experienced problems with your health?  Chances are you were apprehensive (or just plain scared) about the outcome.  Will the person you love feel the same about you?  Will your illness be treatable?  While these events leave you open to harm, they can turn out to be positive experiences.  Consider the satisfaction of knowing that you are loved in return!  Imagine your joy when you learn that you will recover!

If however your vulnerability leaves you wounded, there are still lessons to be learned.  Emotional and physical pain can often be the impetus for positive personal change and improvement.  In addition, you will likely find yourself surrounded by an unexpected and kindly support system that you may not have realized existed.

Being vulnerable requires trust and faith that, despite the outcome, you will be changed. Vulnerability is not a sign of weakness.  Letting your guard down and opening yourself up to whatever comes is a testament of true strength.

Don’t deny your vulnerability – embrace it. It is proof that you are a caring, involved, and strong individual!

I am not a person who likes to be viewed as vulnerable – I usually prefer to be a portrait of strength, stability, and independence. My experiences, however, have taught me that there are times that it is necessary and beneficial to let down my defenses and allow myself to be loved by my support system.
-Jamie Saunders (Perseverance)

1. Irish Snug Running Club

The Irish Snug is a free running club that meets on Thursday nights for a social 5K run. After each run the Snug serves free pasta and salad to all of the runners. The highlight of each run is the running shirt ceremony where a runner that has completed ten runs received a free and highly coveted Irish Snug technical running shirt. I look forward to running with my daughter Laura, her boyfriend Nate and the occasional run with my great nephew Keegan. Keegan (3 years old) is one run away from receiving his running shirt. I treasure each one of these runs with Laura.

2. Drinking Ice Tea at Panera

I love the atmosphere at Panera Bread. I enjoy taking my laptop or a book to Panera and I can sit there for hours just surfing the internet or reading a book or the newspaper. The food is awesome, the staff is always friendly. It is a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

3. Playing golf with my son

Adam and I played together in a scramble golf tournament last summer and on one hole, he just pounded the ball past me and the other two people in our foursome. It was a really a special time for me to see him surpass me. I was much older before I could out drive my Dad. It is just awesome for me to see what an outstanding young man he is becoming.

4. Sunrise

Sunrise is my favorite time of the day. I love being able to watch the sunrise when I am out running. Every sunrise brings the promise of a new day filled with limitless possibilities.

5. Snowshoeing

I just started snowshoeing last year. It is another great way of spending time outdoors and it is a great way to spend time with my family.

6. High school cross country meets

I have a colleague at work whose daughter runs cross country for Columbine High School. I love going to watch her run and the best part to watch is the last 100 yards of the race. These kids don’t leave anything at all out on the field. What would our lives be like if we lived that way. Simply inspiring to watch!

7. Furry Scurry

This is one of our favorite activities to do together as a family. We have been going this event which benefits the Denver Dumb Friends League since 1989. We have adopted many of our pets from this shelter. I have so many great memories of doing this with my children while they were growing up.

In the photo above, Rocky shows off his mad skillz at the obstacle course in 2008.

8. Finding inspiration

I have many friends that I have met in the blogging community who inspire me, make me laugh, and brighten my day. Heather (at Run Faster Mommy) and Katye (at Long Legs on the Loose) are both doing great things in the fight against cancer. Christine (at Train, Don’t Tri) shares simply beautiful thoughts about her faith and living. I always stop by to see what they are up to.

9. Being of service

One of the great joys in my life is the volunteer work that I do for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I love doing whatever I can to provide support and hope to anyone that is touched by cancer.

I have run 16 marathons for my dear friend and now my angel Kelly. She continues to bring joy, love and light to my life.

10. My family

I have been blessed to have a life with my family, Sue, Laura and Adam. Sue and I have been married for almost 27 years and she continues to amaze me each and every day. Laura and Adam are both amazing young people. They are so devoted to their cousin Keegan and to each other.
