Dream Big!


Noel told me the other day her biggest dream in life is to walk again... 
Wow was that hard to hear and yet it was also encouraging. 
Hard because it made my heart ache that my daughter who hasn’t walked
 since she was 3 years old is now 11 and her biggest goal in life is to walk again. 
However it is encouraging that she is still dreaming!
 I thought walking was a dream lost long ago with Noel. 
 Oh how I wish I could look her in the eyes and say yes you can, 
you can do anything you set your mind to, yes Noel you can walk again. 

The truth is I just can’t; 

Me, Tina the eternal optimist can not look her in the eyes and tell her she can walk again. 

So instead I’m doing what I can. 

I have committed to start training with her, I can’t garuntee she’ll ever walk again but I will do what I can. I will push her to the next level, I will push her to more, I will push her to win the race. 
That’s what we’re going to do! Noel and our family are going to start running races together. 
Our fist race we’ll run together is the Peach Festival 5K on August 18th.

So what dreams do you have? What things can you do today to move towards that dream? 
Sure a girl with Muscular Dystrophy may never walk again, but at least she has the courage to dream.
So let Noel inspire you to dream BIG Dreams!

My feet were burning, the sweat started to drip into my eyes and my throat was as dry as a desert; but I didn’t even care. No pain or discom...
