Soldier Without Armor

You have to listen to this song, “Soldier Without Armor.” It was written, composed and recorded by a 10-year-old and two 12 year olds for their young friend battling cancer. These kids are truly amazing and inspiring – we adults can learn so much from them. They are a wonderful example of what living life solid is all about…

Shannon Tichenor | Annika Knudson | Jayke Workman | Erin Scherl

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, it is great to have friends who can help. That is what happened when Annika Knudson, age 11, was diagnosed with Burkitt’s lymphoma. Raintree Montessori School students Erin Scherl, age 10, Jayke Workman, age 12 and Shannon Tichenor, age 12, wanted to do something to help their friend so they turned their worry into hope composing a song entitled “Soldier Without Armor.” Known as Annika’s Song, the young artists wrote both the lyrics and the melody, and with the help of musician Mike West, made a recording. The result is a hauntingly beautiful melody about the power of friendship and love to overcome one of life’s greatest challenges: cancer. While in Mike West’s recording studio, the children also recorded “I’m Here,” another song they wrote.

NOTE: Annika has been pronounced cancer free by her doctors!

Acceptance…

Solid Acceptance“There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me… or leave me. Accept me – or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don’t fit your idea of who I should be and don’t try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision. When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad – you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.”

Regina Brett’s 45 Life Lessons and 5 to Grow On

Regina BrettRegina Brett hit the big time. She is officially an Urban Legend. Making Snopes.com, and is right up there with myths on baby carrots, Wal-mart flip-flops, glurge and asparagus vs. cancer. I thought Regina was 90 years old – as apparantly, have many, many other folks. Truth is, she turned 53 in May of this year, not 90. Dave Davis is the gentleman in charge of rights and permissions at The Plain Dealer for which Regina Bretts is a columnist. Mr. Davis was kind enough to grant us permission to reprint and share with you her popular and inspiring, “45 Life Lesson’s.”

Give yourself a few solid minutes to read and digest the bit of wisdom Ms. Brett has dispensed for us. And, when you are finished, we’d love to hear your thoughts!

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.

16. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

17. You can get through anything if you stay put in today.

18. A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.

19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Overprepare, then go with the flow.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.

35. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.

36. Growing old beats the alternative – dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.

38. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

41. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

42. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.

43. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

44. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

45. The best is yet to come.

46. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

47. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

We Are in Charge of Our Attitudes

Live Life Solid Attitude

Live Life Solid Attitude!

Thought we would share this solid tidbit of inspiration we came across about attitude and the importance of having a good one! Enjoy…

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes. ” ~ Charles Swindoll
