Living In Courage

Debra Oakland talks with Sheila today about living in courage when life presents you with the most challenging experiences of your life. Over a 6 year period, Debra lost her 21 year old son, her unborn baby girl in her 8th month of pregnancy, 2 brothers to AIDS, and her father. She could have given up, felt sorry for herself, made it about her, instead she asked herself what each one of them would have wanted for her, and that was to live a life of courage, to encourage others, to have a wonderful life. Today Debra lives in Laguna Beach, California with Cody, her awesome husband of 22 years, who walked this journey with her, lending me strength and courage every step of the way. Cody and she live such a blessed and incredible life together. She knows that she has come through all of this more courageous, stronger, able to cope with life in a much more powerful way because of the lessons learned along the way.
