WELCOME!
Raw Resiliency
This is the raw, unedited, vulnerable story from yours truly, moi. I’m writing this as my story unfolds before you. I have no idea what my future holds.
God is writing this chapter of my story. I may hate it but it has a purpose and is needed. The same pages I wish I could rip out are the pages God is continuing to write and unfold before you.
Just a little foreword and reader precaution: The first 7 months ( about 200+ days) of this a recap up to present time. This blog is about life, sarcasm, hope, fear, the unknown and most importantly for me, FAITH all spoken and written in my own words I hope you continue to follow my story even if you are not a Christian. I will speak high praises of Jesus and I may even do some venting to him. Like I mentioned in the beginning, I plan to be very vulnerable and not hold back. This story will unfold from me to you pretty much in real time. I suspect I will have highs and lows. I apologize ahead of time if there are any inappropriate language. I will warn you ahead of time. Whether you are a survivor, a caretaker, a friend or family member of someone who has suffered a stroke, I hope you find something relatable in my story and I can shed some light into your world as one perspective. For the THRIVERS out there who has managed to pick up the pieces of your life and move forward maybe you can do the same for me and cheer me on in this journey. THANK YOU for following!

The Best Kind of Conviction
Do you ever get so wrapped up in your own self pity to the point you only can see through the lenses of pity. If only I could have my arms and legs back, my life would be fixed. I’m not asking for much. I was 24/7 fixated on the fact I couldn’t do things

My World Upside Down: New vs Old
Crying in the shower seems to be the new norm for me. It allows me to release my emotions and wail as loud as the water. Plus there is no wasting tissues on my tears and snot. I can just be me. Nobody comes in to try to hug me and fix me. I can
