I’m posting today about a dear, dear friend and colleague of mine–Laura Lee Sparks and her husband Nick.
Nick was diagnosed with cancer a couple years ago, went through treatment (surgery, chemo, radiation) and won that round. Just a couple short weeks ago, he was again diagnosed with cancer, and it’s pretty serious.
On top of Nick’s own health issues, Laura Lee and her family have been dealing with more than their fair share of "stuff" over the past couple years. Laura Lee has also been taking care of her mother (financially and now physically) since last year when she suffered a stroke.
Laura Lee has been such a wonderful and steadfast friend. Unless you knew her, you wouldn’t know just how much she gives of herself to her family, friends and clients. (Oh, yes, speaking of clients–on top of everything she is trying to maintain her successful Virtual Assistant business!)
She’s the rock everyone leans on, and I tell ya, there’s a special place in Heaven for people like her.
Suffice it to say that she and her family could really, really use any and all thoughts, prayers and positive vibes friends and strangers can send. I hope you will join me in sending out a protective circle of love around her and her family that they will come out victorious in this next round. Feel free to post your thoughts, prayers and comments here, too, so she can read them.
Here is a group I created (called NICKS) on a site where you can light a candle and say a prayer. Please light one for Nick and Laura Lee Sparks, that Nick may lick cancer again, and stay strong and optimistic during his treatment and recovery: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=NICKS.
Just click on an unlit candle and it will walk you through the rest. (It’s completely free, by the way.) Candles stay lit for 48 hours, and you can light as many candles as you like. You can use my link here to find your way back to the group.
Please join me in this gesture. It means a lot!
Thanks for commenting. Yeah, the virtual assistant term is really completely idiotic to...
