My Motivation

I have had lots of questions on my motivation. I am going to bare a little bit here and share a little deeper on why I am so motivated. As you know from my "About" section. I had a gran mal seizure 4 and a half years ago while volunteering at our local Soup Kitchen. Twenty minutes before I had the seizure -which wiped me unconscious for over 90 minutes- I was driving with my children on Highway 35. I feel everything happens for a reason in life. We were safe in the Soup Kitchen. My husbands friends wife was there. She took care of my children and contacted my husband through her husband as the ambulance was driving me to the Emergency Room. Everything lined up and we were so greatly provided for at the weakest moment in my life. Even though all of these things happened I had so much anxiety and negativity because this happened to me - my body failed me. It took almost a year to wake up from the self pity and look at what really had happened. God gave me a second chance at my life. This accident could have happened on 35 - we could have all died. I was fortunate to have the right people with us to help and to have this happen in safe place where I couldn't endanger my life or others. Also I woke up. I am alive- so many people are not so lucky after having a gran mal seizure. I now look at every single day as a blessing. I want to create a ME that my family and I can be proud of. I want to honor my second chance by being the best I can be. So yep- I still think it all sucks but even in that it is a blessing. I am a better person for it mentally, physically and spiritually. I now know life is a gift. That is the biggest motivation I could ever have.
