4 yes ago my life changed forever. I have learned so much on these 4 yrs that I wouldn’t have known b4. I still run and walk in my dreams, wake up to a brief “crap, it’s real” then move on. My life is as full and maybe even more beautiful then before 6/6/14.

Today I smiled and said hello to a lady who was having a really bad day. Did the same to a man who had no home. I think about how my accident has changed me for the better, and this is one way. Don’t let a tragedy make you a kinder person..learn from me. Treat everyone equal.

Apparently I upset my building manager with the ADA elevator hot mess. I think it's funny when men raise their voices at me. I'm like "bring it..I've been yelled at by some of the BEST coaches in the world...you don't hold a candle to them."
