This time last year I was preparing (mentally and physically) to have surgery on my eye.
I thank the Lord each day for bringing me through that whole chapter of my life. (It was only a chapter because the story is just getting to the good part 
)
Last year, there were so many unknowns and so many questions. I can’t even put into words everything that was running through my mind at the time. At that point, I really hadn’t told anyone, besides my family what was going on because I didn’t know what to even tell them. Thinking back on it now, still brings tears to my eyes.
People ask me all the time; How do you have the energy to do everything you do? Why are you so involved in the community? Why are certain things so important to you? And I respond the same way every time – “When you have an eye-opening experience, you learn to be very thankful and realize that life is short so I plan to enjoy every minute.”
Stay Tuned – I promise the story is only going to get better.
