WHO INSPIRES ME - LISA

My bestie, Lisa, is a true inspiration to me. She got breast cancer a year or so before I did and she helped me tremendously when I got it. I don't know what I would have done without her and her constant support. Then, she lost her big toenail a couple of months ago and I lost mine shortly thereafter. I think we are twins separated at birth by a few years! LOL! She's a few years younger than I am.

I went over to see her this afternoon and showed her my toe, then we decided to take this pic.

Lisa is a strong, loving, happy and wonderful woman. She inspires everyone she meets. She is so uplifting and positive and I love her dearly. I hope some of her has rubbed off on me. She inspires me to stay strong through tough times and is my rock.

So many people inspire me including my family whom I also love dearly. But, I didn't see them this weekend and since Lisa is like my sister and I hung out with her a bit today, she was the perfect choice. I'm so blessed. I'm just so very blessed for everyone in my life, including all the Pbasers I've learned so much from!

Sounds like a wonderful friend and you are both inspiring!

I am so happy that you have such a positive person in your life. We all need that.
My sister is that to me and we all have our stories.
I just hope that each of us knows how lucky we are even in the face of diversity.

Cindi, you are the best! I love you from your bald head to your bald toes! Our hair grew back and now we will wait patiently until our toenails grow back. By the way, I am not allowing myself around any sharp objects...:)

Beauty is like love -- you sometimes find it in the most unusual places (even missing toe nails). Tthis is a wonderful example of both!
