Today is my LIFE DAY! ❤️
Three years ago today I woke up in the hospital after being in a DKA coma for 28 hours.
The doctor told my husband, in his entire career he’d never seen anyone so close to death and then come back.
Today I celebrate LIFE! ❤️

Geesh friends,
Last night I had a moment when I let fear steal my joy over something I’ve dreamed of doing.
I’m not going to let imposter syndrome take over!
Today I’m reminded that each step that brings me closer to my dream is a blessing and needs to be celebrated!

I’ve had a PB idea for a story floating around in my head for two years now. Yesterday it decided to flow out. The ironic thing, it’s about patience lol. Sometimes stories come easily and others I have to wait for. Whatever it is you are waiting for, it will come when it’s time💚
