Something new and life changing came along

my beautiful daughter
Courtney was born

~ and now I celebrate all the time ~
things like
Patience
kindness
~ DETERMINATION ~
& myself
Maybe because before the age of 2 she had undergone heart surgery - twice
despite Doctors' predictions that she wouldn't survive
she pulled through amazingly
Now
she dances, sings, creates, runs
an unwaivering hot yoga partner,
our very own in-house pastry chef
( baking almost every day - thank God we have yoga )
an invaluable helper here at the house of Golightly
... the list goes on
A real life miracle
