Learning My New Way

I knew something was going on but my symptoms were so inconsistent that I brushed it off. As a single mom, working full time, teaching fitness classes and running several times a week maybe I just needed a little break, right? Wrong! After cutting back, my symptoms became worse and more frequent. There were random times when I would get really dizzy or feel like electric shocks were shooting through my body.  I also kept getting extremely exhausted during my runs.  Then one day last September, my leg went numb and my eyesight started to blur.

The STROKE didn't STOP ME!

There were times when I could walk/run  during scheduled times.  With work and you all being on the other side of town makes it hard.  But I don’t stop meeting the S.T.A.R.S goal and what we stand for.  Between Zumba and walking at work (stairs are killing me J) I’m still doing what I can to represent S.T.A.R.S. 

Who else but God would have made it possible for a person like me to be at death's door with a stroke , paralyzed, battling Ulcerative Colitis,
