A Leap of Faith......Forward and Up
Back in February, my dear friend, Bradley, called me about starting a non-profit for her Forward and Up campaign. The vision of Forward and Up is empower and support women in our community by sharing stories and changing hearts. Bradley was planning a launch party for the non-profit and asked me to share my story. Today, in front of a backyard full of women, most who I had never met, I shared my story, my heart and my hope. It's the first time I have stood in front of a group of women and talked about my illness. Last night, I called Bradley and said I didn't think I could do it. Sean has been at the Master's all weekend and I called him and told him I wasn't doing it. I even told my best friend, Leslie, who drove 4 hours to be there with me that I couldn't do it. Everyone's response was the same- yes you can. As soon as I got in front of those women, I knew I was doing what I was supposed to be doing. Bradley asked me to talk about why I feel it is important
