If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living. Gail Sheehy says.

My survival was challenged on July 14, 2001. Once dancing and singing professionally and internationally, that abruptly changed when hit by a taxi while performing in Japan at Universal Studios.   After being discharged from the hospital I had to re-learn basic skills like walking and talking.  While slowly regaining clarity from my coma, I had to choose how I was going to live now.

I was clear that I was alive and experienced and survived ... something big. I would like to share with you realities that have made themselves abundantly clear. Once we recognize we are vital, vibrant human beings we can chose how we’re going to live and experience our reality. When I was learning to walk again, of course I was focused on success as you all were when learning this basic skill. I fell down, cried and dwelled in frustration for a while, but then I would get up and try again.

A great businessman Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.”

When you believe in yourself you can do incredible things.And in that vain, after leaving the hospital, I went through old journals I had kept from years before. After reading my thoughts and brain drain, I realized that everything I had written and wanted to manifest, in someway or another had come true. This proved to me that whatever I truly desired and put my energy into would indeed become my reality. But my confidence had been shattered so I tentatively proceeded forward.

I didn’t choose to stop entertaining and was still shell shocked from my new reality.  I began doing what I knew and loved, singing and dancing lessons. The patience it took as I started back at one, two, three was enormous. Do or Die though, and I was gladly not died so I was doing. 

Re-learning basic and then more intricate skills showed me there value. A new appreciation and understanding was born.
