My life took a complete 180 in 2019 when I was diagnosed with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). There was a long period of time when things looked pretty grim for me, a lot of bad days. But, as I'm typing this, I'm in a better period of life. Things are starting to look a little different, a little better. No, my POTS has not disappeared. Yes, I still have bad days, but I have good days too.

I believe that everything that happens in life happens for a reason. That these past few years have been a season of preparation. I don't know what I'm being prepared for exactly, but one day I will. For now, I'm just leaning into it and trying to learn and grow through it all, so that when that time comes I'm ready.

I'll be sharing many more videos through the coming year showing the ups and downs that I have faced. My hope is to let you know that:

1. You are not alone.
2. It's okay and NORMAL to struggle.
3. Things are only embarrassing if you let them be.
4. Your "best" will be different everyday.
5. Bad periods don't last forever. (even if they feel like they will)


So, I'm going to press upload now, before I talk myself out of it....
