Go Ahead, Tell Me It’s Impossible

Tell me I can’t do something, that it’s impossible, and I’m probably going to do whatever it is, and do it twice, and take pictures while I’m at it.

In fact, in the earlier years of my business, I was juggling dealing with my oldest daughter, who had sustained a traumatic brain injury from a fall from a horse, and subsequently developed severe psychosis, and schizophrenia. To say it has been challenging would be a massive understatement. We’ve had multiple suicide attempts, homicidal ideations and a plan to kill the family, manic episodes, and 18 hospitalizations.

All the while taking care of my three younger children, and growing my business from the ground up, with a husband who couldn’t see the point of it.

The words “You’ll never… “ were attached to quite a few things. So, needless to say, I figured out how to make those things happen, and take notes, and pictures. The list is pretty long, from making sure that my oldest daughter has care for the rest of her life, along with fully replacing my income from corporate (and then some).

I’m going to guess it goes without saying that it hasn’t been easy, and has been downright painful at times. I drove for Uber, and there was that one ride that I picked up at 4 AM that wanted to go 3 hours to the coast- and then I had to drive home.
