 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.

OWN YOUR LIFESTYLE - Stop smoking, maintain a healthy weight, exercise, and eat whole foods.
REALIZE YOUR RISK - We think it won’t happen to us, but heart disease kills 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 will have a stroke .
EDUCATE YOUR FAMILY - Get active and make healthy choices for you & your family.
DON’T BE SILENT - Tell every woman you know that heart disease is our No. 1 killer.
