Live Life Loud- A Whole New Meaning

If you've been following me, you know I wholeheartedly live by: Live Life Loud. I live BIG, in a way that I have learned to soak up every moment; good or bad. In life, we get the choice to make the best out of our circumstances or to allow those circumstances to cause us to stumble and question our purpose. We all have a purpose, a reason for where we've been and where we're going. It's what shapes us from who we were to who we are.

All my life, it's been a running joke about my stumbling/clumsiness. Over the last few months, I became more aware of what was happening and I honestly just threw it all on the back burner because I thought it would all pass in time. Little did I know, a fall and a compilation of Ring camera footage catching many of my falls, would lead to a diagnosis of Chiari Malformation.

This diagnosis has lead to the understanding of why I lose control of my fine motor skills some days, the unexplained hearing loss, and so much more. BUT it doesn't define who I am. It doesn't stop me from conquering each day. It doesn't get in the way of my goals, ambitions and living big.

I had a co-worker make a statement one time, " You always have a smile." I remember asking if she had time for me to share my testimony.…because quite honestly, it’s pretty unbelievable!

This. This has now become part of my testimony. A new chapter to write and share. Another reason for why I smile a little bigger, soak up the sunshine on a bright day a little longer, and find joy in the clouds on gloomy days. Life is precious. Life is fragile. Life is meant to be lived BIG and LOUD!
