Re-Writing My Story
I'm rewriting my story. I thought I had a set story. I started out as an entrepreneur nannying in middle school through college which gave me a lifestyle monetarily as well as freedom to create my own schedule and get referrals from clients. It also gave me the opportunity to have flexibility within my lifestyle, which I am so grateful to experience even today. I feel free to say, "I can go outside and walk my dog in the middle of the afternoon on a sunny day just to take a break." That's incredible! It's also incredible for me to sit down on a Saturday for a couple of hours and venture into new opportunities for my business and develop reputation to bring awareness to my story.
This is my routine story. Started as an entrepreneur. Didn't even know the word existed honestly when I was in middle school. I watched Shark Tank when I was 10 and they were being called inventors. I wanted to be an inventor. When I was in college, my creativity in photography became a natural pursuit of exploration. I honed photography as a skill in order to access relationships in other individuals on my campus. Fun fact, my university, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, one of their Twitter accounts, IupNation still has my picture as the cover.
During my college days, late nights were my friend. Now I'm an early morning person. My purpose for living is a question mark because of a recent experience that I had, which is a life-changing experience. This is a shape-shifter for me. This is a lot of the reason why I stepped back when it comes to content to give myself some space or just maybe not sharing as much of my personal journey because I'm experiencing a lot right now. Really, a lot of my life is sort of like I say up in the air at this time.
On December 14, 2019, I was driving on the highway going to gymnastics. My car hydroplaned, spun 180. As it spun, it caught air, hit a hill and flipped over. I was in between living and dying at that time. The experience my biological and psychological body went through was so intense. And it's leaving me still to this day with symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I am processing many emotions and thoughts. I am re-finding my purpose here in this world. I thought I had a set purpose. Now, I am finding a purpose again to continue to live.
I welcome you to watch the series, Sudden Courage on YouTube to watch me talk about this experience and for you to learn.
