 Greetings and happy new year, friends. It looks like 2025 has gotten off to an auspicious start and we will need to flex our muscles to expand our adaptive capacity and further build our resilience on every level. As you may have noticed this post is a year delayed. My last post was on 12/27/2023. Last year, 2024, was a journey of recovery for me and my family personally.
On 12/29/2023 I was hit by a Ford F-140 truck driven by a woman who lost control, crossed oncoming traffic, breached a median, careened through a drainage channel, and drove onto the sidewalk where my husband and I were walking our dogs. I was hospitalized and treated for eight broken bones and bruises over my body. Most of 2024 was spent recovering from the injuries and learning to walk again. Compounding my injuries were total breakdowns in the systems we expect to help and protect us as well as hold others accountable. Suffice it to say I am familiar with trauma on multiple levels. Needless to say, this experience set me on a journey to find effective ways to heal physically, mentally, and spiritually, as well as legally and financially. While I won't focus on reliving the pain of the last year in upcoming posts, I will be sharing lessons learned in the hope my experience can help inform and ease others' pain as they experience their own journeys of recovery and resilience. If you have experienced trauma, I hope you will find some solace as well as resources to guide your own path. Let's begin... Comments are closed.
