Meaghan XO!

Enter Meaghan McCarthy - the five-year-old Toronto kid that just wants to go to school, see her buddies and play - without breaking her fragile bones. This little sweetheart is battling a rare form of cancer, and her story was featured recently in the Globe and Mail.

The happy face smiling at me from the page touched my heart - her paper crown covered in crayon hearts tilted back on tousled blonde hair. Her story traveled straight to my core being- that special, eternal place in each of us that makes us give a damn.


I clipped the newspaper photo and keep it near my work computer so that I am reminded to send healing energy to that dear child and her family.


Although I am much older, and corrupted with the cynicism of my years, I still relate to Meaghan and her dreams. Like her, I just want to get out there and enjoy the day!


As you go about your busy-ness, should you be so lucky as to capture a sunbeam (or two!), please remember to share xo!
