February 18,2011 seems to be the date this chapter of my life began. I still had the same wonderful husband, children, family, and friends as I always had but that’s the day (the day of “the accident”) that life as I had always known it to an abrupt end. That may be a bit of a dramatic statement, but a true one nonetheless. Those first several months seemed like a bad dream in which I both grieved the old me and tried to get back there at the same time. It was only when I gave everything up to God and let Him show me that although this was not an easy part of my journey, this next chapter would be better than the last. He has been true to that promise; and it has only gotten better since.

I wrote what started as journaling and turned into more of a book as a way to sort out what I was learning and how I was feeling. And I am using this blog to chronicle my journey – not only through life and my accident, but on each journey I take. I have a love of travel that grows stronger with each trip and I want to remember every moment…
