Back From The Brink

I've talked a lot about hope and the fact that even when things look their worst, there is still a chance to make a new choice, live a new life, find happiness where none was evident before.

In an amazing story of resilience, a 20-year old woman who was only given 10 days to live three years ago because of anorexia, just this week gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Her family hopes that through sharing her story and before and after photographs, others will see that there is hope.

This story is one of the most amazing stories of recovery I have read. I share it with you today with the hope that you too will find it inspirational and encouraging. Sometimes we feel like we're too far gone, that what we've done is so bad our bodies can never recover. This story illustrates how much we underestimate the healing power of the human body and mind. It's never too late!

I hope you will read it in good health. Tomorrow is a new day. Once the sun sets tonight, it won't matter what you did today. Tomorrow there are new choices to be made. Tomorrow is a new chance to love ourselves, to rise above the voices that tell us we are inadequate, fat, unlovable or weak. You are not alone, this story proves it.
