WHY? ...That kept me stuck.
I spent 15 years doing research. Information kept me stuck too.  I have learned what health is and what it isn’t.  Friend, sickness is much more than how we feel.
You are meant to live life OUT LOUD.  You're doing that,  whether you intend to or not. It’s why you’re here and you can’t hide from that. 

I’m a writer and entrepreneur who does research for fun, drinks coffee for pleasure and wears flannel (because, why not?).  I’ve been taking medication since I was 3 years old. It’s a LONG story. I have great respect for its benefits as well as its detriments. And, I believe (against all odds) I walk towards what Dr. 's tell me I cannot. I'd love to see you on the journey!

I’m not perfect. OH, ya … you knew that. Just thought I’d mention it, in case you were sitting there in your bathrobe thinking I was somehow not sitting here in mine. It’s probable I have a full sink of dishes to wash.  

I live here in Nashville with my Prince Charming and our two kids who keep us running and allow us to claim we’re younger than we are. I’m thankful for age (mostly;)!) Years are a beautiful thing, if you let them be. Sometimes I need to be reminded. 

I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter what’s leveled against you,
YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE THE WORLD! 

Everything changed for me the moment I fell down a flight of stairs...

I realized things had to change. I had to change; and I had to start owning my story. The shame of where I was physically had me running from myself.  See, I’d spent a lifetime under the banner of seizure disorder and new maladies seemed to be adding daily.   

Not even fashion model status could make me feel good about myself.   I was used to living a double life, pretending I was ok.  But, pretending keeps you stuck too.

So, I decided to stop focusing on how many pills I was taking, acknowledge what I had and really LIVE.  And ... living changes everything. You decide to live or how much of a victim you let yourself become. 

I'm a warrior who believed she was a victim her whole life... until I chose another path.  Maybe you have too? Rise up out of it and be who you are meant to be. 

You break your nose?
