I am spinning from last night! I am not going to lie there was a bit of drama leading up to it but I held my head high and stayed the course and it paid off. Who am I ? Why am I doing this? Can I lead? 

 When I was a part of ASK Dane was 5. (17 years ago)! I was not only the youngest person in the room, I nearly had the youngest child. I think Jeremy is younger than Dane. I was so insecure in my special needs journey and in myself as a human. I was broken. Dane broke me. I was filled with fear and despair not knowing if I would ever climb my way out of a very deep pit that seemed to crumble every time I tried to scale the wall. And then I got brave, and it is brave to walk into a support group not knowing a soul and needing to pour your heart out to someone that just might understand. To feel vulnerable and  exposed to a group of strangers is BRAVE. I applaud the women that showed up last night and filled the couch and shared. I was transported to a room in a church 17 years ago on a night I walked into a room and met the most wonderful women I had ever met in my life.  A room filled with women that shared my heartache and gave me hope. These were the women that held my hand and walked with me when I was too scared to go alone. They had traveled the road before me and knew they could show me the way. These women changed my life completely. They shaped me into who I am today. Confident, fearless, compassionate and ready to show up for you as they showed up for me.
