You've Been Given the Gift of Life, Give it Back!

Welcome friends and family!

Thank you for visiting my blog. It documents my amazing journey from pre to post double lung transplant. I am a 37 year old mother and wife with Cystic Fibrosis who has been more greatly blessed than I could ever imagine possible!

It has been a bumpy ride, but God has given me strength, love, friendship, and, FINALLY, health. My prayers have been answered, my miracle was granted, and I want to share the joy of my new life with you.

If you are a first time visitor, please take a moment to watch The Miracle of Transplantation video below. To me, pictures speak a thousand words.

My entries begin in April of 2008 and my double lung transplant was December 10. Scroll down to my blog archive and you can read from the beginning or jump around. If you are looking for a specific topic, you can use the search engine.

Please feel free to contact me with questions or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

I hope I can help you to experience the love God has for each and every one of us!

May God Bless You with Miracles in Your Life! Nancy

Thank you, Jamie!

Wow, I am feeling really special today.  My dear friend Jamie (who had her transplant one year to the day before mine) awarded me a special badge.  


I gave your blog a cool award, you can see it and post your award badge on your blog by going to my blog. Nancy I think you are just an amazing woman and I LOVE keeping up with you~

According to Jamie:

Liebster is a German word that literally translates to "favorite", "dearest" or "beloved". By one blogger giving it to another, they are essentially saying, your blog is a favorite of mine. I think it's great that I have been awarded this. I blog mostly to get things off my mind, it's like a journal to me. I find myself surprised people want to read it or find it interesting, but there is a few that do I guess.

The rules of the Liebster Blog Award are:
1) Acknowledge the blogger who gave the award by linking back to them
2) Give this award to 5 other bloggers (who have fewer than 200 readers), and let them know through a comment on their blog
3) Post the award on your blog
4) Best of all - bask in the glory, have fun and share the love!

I really hope that my blog helps others who are searching for hope, support, Faith and most importantly inspiration to keep on fighting and living life despite the trials we all face.

Jamie, you certainly do provide inspiration to many, including me, your story and faith got me through some of the toughest times both pre and post transplant!  Thank you, dear friend!

So, I guess it is my turn.  It is hard to choose only 5, but here goes:

1.   Jamiebug at  http://www.jamiebug.blogspot.com/ 
     Jamie, you are definitely at the top of the list, I hope it is okay to return the award.

2.  The Little Things in Life at  http://photos-by-em.blogspot.com/   
     Emily's photos are so uplifting and truly share the most wonderful "little things in life"!

3.  Seans Jeap at http://seansjeep.blogspot.com/
     Sean will be celebrating his one year transplant anniversary very soon.  I love Sean's attitude about life and the way he has handled living with CF!

4. My CF Transplant and Nursing Journey at http://cftransplantmiracle.blogspot.com/
    Katey is an inspiration!  She amazes me with everything she is working for and all that she has been through in her young life.  Keep fighting dear one!

My final award goes to a baby blog, one that has just begun, but that deserves tons of support:

5.  Raise a Little Heaven at http://raisealittleheaven.blogspot.com/
     Dan and Bonnie Biro are starting a new adventure.  They have decided that, rather than have children of their own, they will adopt.  To me, that is such a self-less, God inspired thing to do.  I plan on supporting them all of the way!
