Down But Not Out

Well Sisters, it’s been a struggle for me (to put it lightly) these last few weeks. Many of you are not aware that I was involved in a minor car accident in October. Well, the damage to my vehicle was minor but the impact to my body, emotions and mind…now that’s a different story altogether. Let me just say, I have truly been down. No, I mean literally, down!

It’s been difficult to do the tasks needed to keep everything on schedule and moving forward (you know, the everyday stuff) and especially those related the release of my first published book, I Am The Crown. But guess what? I accomplished just about everything that I wanted to accomplish. You see, I was down but not out. I kept focusing on the release of the book and the activities that were planned prior to the accident and that gave me motivation to keep moving.

I’m sharing this with you because I want to encourage you to keep moving forward even when you are down. (And yes, every one of us will be down at some point in our lives.) Sometimes, it felt like the easiest thing to do would have been to cancel all of the events and activities and just give into the pain but I just couldn’t. I had worked so hard and I just refused to be out—to quit. I want you to do the same…refuse to be out. Refuse to quit. Refuse to give up. Refuse to allow the “pain” in your life to distract you from your goals. No, it’s not easy but I promise you that the push through it all will be well worth it.

You see can may be down but you don’t have to be out. Spread the word…Sister U Matter!®
