I was a bit saddened earlier... when I saw that my first rating of my thread was a ONE!! SIGH... and I KNOW that there will ALWAYS BE HATERS... but I wanted to make sure... that I reiterated what this is really all about...
YES!! Posting these photos does help my career... I will not deny that... and I am not ashamed of that... HOWEVER, more importantly... I had a dream a few years ago... and I am slowly seeing that DREAM coming to life...
**THREE years ago... I had a broken leg and then suffered from foot drop... and I had to relearn to walk... that took about 11 months of my life... During that time... I lost 80% of the muscle mass in my legs...
**After intense physical therapy... I was back on my bike... and training was going GREAT... and then I CAUGHT a DEVASTATING INFECTION... that nearly killed me... I was covered from head to toe... in GROSS CELLULITIS BLISTERS... and the doctors could not figure out how to kill the infection...
**After 4 months of suffering with Cellulitis... I was diagnosed with a RARE GENETIC DISORDER that makes me a BUBBLE PERSON... and I lost my career... almost my life... and at that time... I could barely walk 3 K steps A DAY!!
** Back then... I made a promise to God... that if I was given another chance... that I would do everything in my power... to teach other people... how to LIVE AND LOVE LIFE...
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY...
Two weeks ago... I broke down crying because I hit THIRTY THOUSAND STEPS FOR THAT DAY!! I used to regularly hit that every day... but it has taken me THREE LONG YEARS to get back to this point...
I understand DEPRESSION...FRUSTRATION... LOSS OF HOPE... I just want each of you... to know.. that NO MATTER what you want to do in life... it is POSSIBLE!! I want everyone to find HOPE and COURAGE through my own person struggles... if I have DONE THAT... then MY LIFE has been worthwhile...
I am going to end with one of my FAVORITE QUOTES:
"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished.
THAT will be the BEGINNING."
