Is it already December?

I feel like November never happened! Ha time is going by way too fast these days. So my word of advice is, never, ever take anything for granted, life is way too short, never live with a day of regret, because you never know when it will be taken away from you. I do know that this last month I have grown up so much and for that I am grateful!!  I also came to the realization that I am happy so happy, even though the things that have happened to me, have been full of tears and sadness, I can't help but smile. I always have to think... "there is always someone in a worse position"... I was having a conversation with one of my Aunts, whom I love dearly and am so grateful for her in my life about being happy. She told me something that hit me, which inspired me to write this blog. As I mentioned, I have had to do a lot of growing up the past few weeks, and doing some things with a smile can be difficult. She said, "You radiate happiness!" Not that I am trying to put myself on oh a high stool, but you guys, there should never be a day where you don't smile, or where you radiate your happieness. Let others know that you are happy or trying to be happy! It will amaze you how it will compliment your life. It's always good to know that even though you may feel like crap on the inside one day, that people will still see your light shining around you. I challenge you do smile, do your face exercises and smile, it will then become natural for you. I am sure we have all been through our fare share of trials and hardships, but those are what make you strong and live long. I know without a doubt that being happy around the people you interact with it will make others happy too. Happiness is contagious, and it is a good type of contagious! So be nice and spread it.. all over! Try making a list of things that make you happy... I am going to share a list. (Things that make me happy and things that I am grateful for!!!)

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

The journey of my new smile...

I felt like blogging about the journey of getting my new smile. Oh boy! It sure has been a long, painful, and exciting process. In May of  2000 I was riding my bike, like a big girl (I was 8) with a bunch of my siblings and cousins, to my grandma's church (which was just down the street from where she lives. Staying on the side of the road as instructed, there was a man hole cover that was not pushed down all the way. Being toward the back of the bike line I didn't notice that it was up about three or so inches. Everyone else had dodged it and went around it. I, going full speed to keep up went straight over it and flipped over my bike handle bar, bike still in hand I landed on my stomach. I got up, a little dizzy and discombobulated got up thinking that was pretty sweet that I survived that epic crash. I didn't know how bad it was until my sister Kelsey started screaming "Kacey! Kacey! You have blood running down your face!" I immediately put my hand to my face a...
