My Story
Life happens and we roll around on the proverbial treadmill until something usually not-so-great happens. In 2007, I was on track to pursue independent publishing before it was coming of age but personal and family matters bumped me off course. Slowly, I squelched my purpose ignoring my passions as I tended to my family and our life together.
Then, I was chasing the proverbial buck around to eek out a living while raising a daughter. I was practicing mindfulness and living in the moment, enjoying life. Then my daughter went to college and I was left to pursue my own dreams once again.
As part of my metaphorical and literal journey, I returned to my beloved Okoboji to play at the lake on the tail end of my second-annual cross-country road trip to New England. The Universe spoke softly to me in the voice of a torn MCL wakeboarding on the final day of my trip before heading back to Colorado after a four-week retreat. Still, the Universe didn't really get my full attention.
I healed my MCL holistically. Then one day, I decided to hop on a plane for London. The trip's purpose was to "reset" and it began mid-flight as I began free writing. I wrote purposefully as if guided by my inner voice, my guides. I was in the zone and I was clear. I had a plan and I was going to break free of the constraints and proceed with my passions and feed my soul.
I returned from the trip and one thing led to another and I found myself on the same proverbial treadmill. Then, January 5, 2017 came and the Universe smacked me up side the head, literally.
The next several months my village (in the form of friends) came to support me bringing me meals, cleaning my house, driving me to all my doctor and therapy appointments, and doing all the things I wasn't able to do for myself. Instead of helping people like I've always done, I was on the receiving end.
This began my mantra to #ReclaimMyLife after suffering a TBI. On the road to physical recovery, I dovetailed it with also getting my purpose back on track, front and center.
#ReclaimMyLife is all about my journey to physical health, and my inner drive to overcome the medical challenges and adapt to the new version of me with its limitations--and exploring how I can stretch myself in my journey to be better than I was before.
