Was it a stroke of luck?“You’re lucky.” It’s a phrase I’ve heard often since my stroke—lucky to have my sight, lucky to have avoided more severe deficits, and lucky to be here.
I don’t feel lucky about what happened. But I do feel grounded in gratitude for the path of healing I’m on, for the people walking beside me, and for the ways this experience continues to shape how I see myself and the world. This blog is where I make sense of that journey in real time—through story, reflection, and the quiet work of rebuilding. |

Chapter 2: Self Love Day 10: Name something you often expect to receive from others. In what ways can you give it to yourself? Two things I am always will to give and expect to receive are honesty and candor, but folks might only be capable of one or the other. I expect honesty and really respect candor. I think some people hide being a bully and other aggressive behavior behind the guise of candor and that is something I have absolutely no respect for - this chart captures this obnoxious aggression rather well. I look at myself and my situation with honest eyes to understand how the obstacles to navigate to move forward. I practice realistic optimism with myself and I accept my weaknesses and flaws while continuing to love and accept myself. My vulnerabilities, and my mistakes make me human- are opportunities to grow.  |
