April 2018 I stepped into some very unfamiliar territory that at first seemed really scary. I did this because I was at a low place in my life, emotionally, and the truth is, I didn t share those internal struggles with those that I loved. I suppressed it. I prayed about it but it wasn t working. Was I praying wrong? What did I need to do differently to not feel this way? When I finally reached out to someone close to me about what I was feeling she encouraged me to go to #pathways. I knew quite a few people who had gone through this training and came out of it thriving in all aspects of their lives. I had nothing to lose by giving it a shot.

I stepped through some doors that first night with an open heart and mind. I knew by the end of the weekend that I was supposed to be there. I felt it in my heart that the training I was to receive the next 90 days was exactly what I needed in my life. God, is that you???

Fast forward to 3 months later. I graduated with my class 365 y all! I put in the hard work. I faced demons. I fought for my life and I fought hard y all. Is Pathways Core Training a magic wand that makes everything better with no effort? No. What I have gotten is tools to manage my life. I have learned to take ownership of my life. I have learned that every day I have to make a conscious decision that I will be happy and I will choose how I respond to difficult situations. Life is managed.

This training is different for everyone and you get out of it what you put in. For me, it was exactly what I needed to restore my faith. I am closer to God now than ever before and I have never been in a better place in my adult life than right here right now. I had a prayer answered this weekend and it was a biggie. I m excited about my future! I love myself and I love my life!!! And an added benefit of the process is the new extended family, friends and support system. We played hard!!!

For those of you who helped get me through those doors, supported me, cheered me on and prayed for me, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my renewed heart. I love you
