So true! I have had a lot of really wonderful things happen throughout my life, and I am a survivor of many difficult challenges. Challenges like the life-threatening emergency abdominal surgery just this past December, loved ones lost, or almost lost, and let’s just say, #metoo. But here’s the deal, every time, I made it. I’m still here. And every challenge I handle makes it so I have even more to offer to others. I’m here to thrive and serve and shine. No experience in my life has been wasted. I take hold of it and dig through the mud for the gems. These challenges don’t define me, they fortify me. They make me more of who I was meant to be - Unshakable. You too. I see you. Look what you’ve handled. You can do anything. You’re all powerful. Love and compassion are our gems from the mud. 💪🏼❤️💪🏼❤️
