There are times in life when circumstances can get the best of us but one tool I have used that gets me through is Thankfulness. When you find something to be thankful for the situation can take a turn for the better because now you are no longer giving power to to the problem, now your focus is on the positive that can come from the situation. So no matter what find something to be thankful for. It’s simple yet amazing. Love you all.

I have personally been to the hospital myself to just sit with her and pray and believe for things to get better. We however thank God, due to she has had one surgery but has a couple more to go but everyday is a battle not just in the body but in the mind. Lesley said sometimes its hard to just be positive all the time even though you know the victory is coming. This is the first part of her journey. She will be coming back on to share more about her story as it continues to unfold. You can also donate to support thousands of people who struggle with the disease at Crohn's & Colitis Foundation.
