Hi everyone !
Wow, this has been a wild ride already ! I'm still in shock ! Ya know I knew this year was going to be a great year LOL! We never saw this comin' that's for sure, but then again..that Acute Leukemia is a sneeker :)
Since being in the ER, transferred to Anaheim and now at USC (which I'm now a fan). God has been doing incredible things with me, in me and all around me. The people I've met on this journey from all walks of life have been so sweet. From the janitors, transporters, EMT, cleaning ladies, nurses, specialists, doctors, some believers and some not. God has shown me their hearts. I'm so blessed that God has allowed me that pleasure. He keeps opening doors over and over again and I'm walking through, "holding nothing back" from what He wants me to do.
Hey does anyone remember that whole Britney Spears things, when she shaved her hair off ? Well, I remember thinking "I want to do that" LOLOL! I guess you should be careful what you wish for huh ? haha !Well, Tiffany Amber Theison wig .. HERE I COME !!!!
As you can tell, my spirits this week are good. Started my treatment so please pray for this first week..its supposed to be intense. My soul is at peace and my God is here with me. So I'm not alone.
So what do I need ? YOU! My friends and family. I cherish my relationships. My true, genuine relationships that I'm blessed with each and every day. And even though I don't see you every day, I know you think of me. You all inspire me by just being YOU.
MY LIFE IS OVERWHELMINGLY BLESSED WITH MY FAMILY...
-Shawn is my BFF. From the moment, and I MEAN moment, we met it was FIREWORKS. And every minute since has been fireworks. God is in my husband. He treats me like God does, everything unconditional. Now THAT'S a man ! The man of my dreams. Stay strong baby!
-My kids are incredible. TOTALLY different from each other, but the loves of my life. I'm in love with my kids. Stay strong my loves !
-And then there's my precious, precious Kaia. WOW..what can I say? She's "the best granddaughter ever!" (She loves when we say that) Thank you God for this amazing, beautiful Joy that you blessed me with. "You are my Sunshine!"

We are all going to FIGHT ON!!!! TOGETHER! (Phil 4:13)
I'm praying for all of you, please know that. Please pray for all the people that are surrounding me here. That their lives will be forever changed by our Lord and Savior.
Remember, this is not about me, really! It's about God's plans for all of us. I'm just a vessel being used for His glory. Am I scared ? You bet, but God's got this! And that's good enough for me!
C'yall soon !!
All my love to you
- Joanie
P.S. ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK !
