I is for Imagine
When storms even think about entering the north Texas area, our house knows in advance. My migraines and Thad’s TBI acts like an early warning system as pressure changes can be felt long before the storms show up. I spent so much of my life in that high alert waiting for the next storm to …

H is for Hold On
An abundance of H words are appropriate on the journey to success. Stay Humble and focus on what others need. Keep your Hustle up and work like it depends on you while praying like it depends on God. Be Hungry going after the dreams God has given you. Hunker down because there will be all …

G is for Grace
This is such a big idea that can go in different directions. Know this: God’s grace is always sufficient and is available to anyone that receives it and learns to accept it. And that is where my focus is! Give yourself grace. This was new for me. I was brutal towards myself in words and …

F is for Forget
Often when I journal, I end up with imagery in my head. I had one recurring image – I am running towards Jesus but I can only go so far and then these ropes jerk me to a halt well before I reach His embrace. That is what today is all about. Forget the past. The …

C is for Commit
This isn’t some fluffy fly-by-night concept. This is the dig in, get dirty, do whatever it takes to get to the other side concept. Commit. To yourself. To the process. To your dreams. Most of us have no idea what we are capable of accomplishing. This is where you find out what you are really …

B is for Believe
Once a new thought is allowed in – it is time to fertilize it! Give it room to grow and become something amazing, something joy filled, something really cool in your life. Believe anything is possible. Borrow belief if you need to. I remember the doctor’s in the hospital telling me Thad was going to …

A is for Allow
I may have been the most rigid, non-flexible rule-following scheduled-to-the-minute person on the face of the planet at one point in my life. God has used my marriage, my friends, my circles, service opportunities and really hard circumstance to change this one thing about me. I guess you could say I am a recovering control …

17 months
Today is 17 months post injury for Thad and it also marks Day 1 of the next leg of his journey. He first attempted going back to work last April – then had a setback in May – started building up again in June and made it up to almost 23 hours a week before the …
