Now on to the reason why this title is Grateful. Just yesterday I was given an amazing opportunity to listen to an incredibly inspiring women named Julia. She has been through some crazy stuff in life and she came out on top. While sitting her second presentation she asked us to write down all the words on the screen that applied to us. The first one that caught my attention was grateful. Although there were many negative words up there that I had experienced grateful was by far my overall experience in life.
^^^above she is the one in the middle, sorry it's a little blurry! As of now this is in my list of the five best things to ever happen to me.
During the first presentation I got to sit through of hers I was really moved and realized that everything really is possible. To me however that really isn't what made this event special, what did make it special was the way I saw Julia touch girls and boys lives who needed a helping hand. The sight of her changing these lives was quite possibly one of the best things I have ever seen. After watching her presentations I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
Julia founded a program called truality and it's all about being tru to you and knowing that your never alone. To me that is one of the best lessons you could ever teach anyone. I am so blessed and honored to of had the chance to meet and listen to such an incredible person.
