October 8th 2011. It is three years since that day. As I sat in front of the audience this morning it clicked with me how surreal it is that we are back to that day. Tomorrow I will wake up in my soul mates arms. I will breathe in this celebration of resilience and life. I give so much thanks to all of you that rallied on that day, and then many months and now years following. Tonight I looked back on posts from October 8th, 2011 and my eyes filled with tears. Tomorrow will be spent having breakfast with one of my sweet CT sisters, then an indoor cycling ride with the hand bike, hugging many people, and praying steadfast for the woman that held her hand on my heart and prayed without wavering while my mangled body was brought into Yale. To all of you that are part of our journey, I ask that on this Day of October 8th you place your hand on your own heart and you know that we all beat as one. Do an act of kindness today, forgive someone, breathe in newness and release hatred and anger. Lift up my hero Amanda Pumm Bernier that held her hand on my heart and prayed for me to live, give thanks and send up prayers for Patricia Palaia my paramedic, and Lindsay Nelson who drove better than any Nascar driver and got me to Yale just in time and hold your loved ones close. Thank people, smile at people, be open to others, remember that each and every person has a story and we all need each other. Heres to October 8th. Three years later, 24 Surgeries in, and thanking God today more than ever for this life. I am exactly where I am supposed to be, which isnt remotely where I WANTED to be, but where I am a #changemaker. Thank you. Lastly, sign up to donate blood , and thank your emergency and rescue crews. (Tall orders I know). Hugs to everyone. Peace, love, gratitude, strength, and belief. https://youtube/watch?v=y9x2CHQClTU #productofheroes
