So I'm lucky.

I mean, I'm living my dream now and doing public speaking and sharing my story and sharing the lessons that I learned along the way.

But I'm also lucky.

And I think I'm able to do that because I've spent my career the last 25 years in my passion, fundraising and nonprofit leadership and management.

It's in my soul.

It's what I love.

And I do think I would have found that.

It could always be worse.

Because when I was in the hospital, like, with this metal cage around my leg and literally screeching my head off because I could feel and sense when someone walked in the room, there was a woman next to me that broke her arm that had nobody.

And I instinctively, as hard as it was, I instinctively knew, even though I was going through it, I knew I was going to be okay.

But I worried about her.

So it's like, it's all relative to what people are saying.

So I'll meet people, oh, I broke my leg.

I'm not going to complain.

I'm like, no, but how does it affect your life?

How are you doing?

Right?

Because we all have our own individual issues.

circumstances and our own the way that things affect us in our life and everybody's has value and it's human to recognize when people and in our situations that we have empathy for so i appreciate that you said that but i just want to make it i just want people to know just because mine is so sensational that doesn't minimize what other people are going through

So I've had instances... Like, my values certainly did not align with the people at the parachuting school that day.
