I write this because two years ago from today I had to learn who I was all over again. I felt lost, misplaced, and depressed for months. I was in a horrible car accident. A car ran a red light an t-boned my car and I flipped over three times. Yes, I know what you are thinking, how was she still alive? I was able to get out the car with no scratches but a bruise on my side. Yes my back was sore, my neck was out of whack and had one hip higher then the other. I was still able to walk away from this accident with my head up high and say, “Thank you Jesus for giving me a second chance!” I could have lost my life but God blessed me with a second one. I’ve decided to utilized my second chance and put it to work. I stand here today no longer feeling numb, disconnected, and depressed from the world. Because I am a new person I had to relearn myself all over again. People take years to learn themselves, but I took only six months. Re-learning myself was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I felt pain, depressed, unmotivated, and not sure of myself. My most important step I had to learn was to value who I was unconditionally. I had to acknowledge all good and bad parts of myself, so I can make improvements. I struggled with acceptance because I can be so critical about myself. By learning my struggle I found my motivation, acceptance, confidence, passion and just being myself again. I’ve questioned my circumstance rather than just excepting my circumstance. I may not be the same person but I am a better person.
I look back on my experience and used my second chance to create, "The Women's Confident Movement."
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.
Psalm 28:7
