Have you ever had time stand still?
It was about 6 1/2 years ago, one warm September day in 2016, when I got the call from my daughter that she had a massive brain tumor, as she cried to me, I said, “I know that God has you!”
Because of the tumor size, they immediately sent her to the ICU to wait until the doctor could decide HOW to approach such an enormous surgery.
We had no idea of all that she would go through including learning to walk and talk again. We hope to inspire others who may be going through something similar or hard, to know that life can be wonderful again…even through the pain. Ideas to conquer your situation, looking through the lens of gratitude, being a steward of sharing with others to help them through dark times and more. We are all meant to shine and know that miracles come in different ways, when you are looking for them…they are always there!
Brianne’s bio
Brianne came to this earth with a light and energy bursting from every pore. She loved people, she loved life and as she grew, she loved learning. This thirst for knowledge led her to many opportunities including starting college at 16 and exploring the world, her favorite place being France.
Her exploration of everything French led her into teaching French immersion at the elementary level. Her exploration of the world led her to go even further where she taught for two years in China at an International school after receiving her Master’s Degree.
Brianne’s love expanded to overflowing after the birth of her cute little boy (which we are so glad she shares with her parents). He is everything to her. It was shortly after his 2nd birthday that her life changed, and she has now spent over 6 years in a miracle filled recovery and continuing to inspire everyone she meets. For someone who has nearly lost everything, she is the most positive, loving and giving person you will ever meet. She loves everyone deeply, forgives easily, and is a shining light to all those that meet her.
Michelle’s bio
Motherhood is one of Michelle’s favorite things, chocolate might be a close second! But having this opportunity to care and give to Brianne during her recovery has deepened that meaning and has been one of the most rewarding roles of her life!
Michelle has had a passion for people and places, throughout her life she has collected both. She has had the opportunity to travel the world and very few who meet her come away without being friends. Whenever we can’t find Michelle in our travels, we know she is making friends with someone new. Watch out… we have been invited over for dinner in England and a Chateau stay in France.
Michelle has co-written several travel books with her husband, has hosted tours all over the world, she speaks at events throughout the US (mostly on how “Travel can Change your Education”), is a partner of Simplified Homeschooling and involved with a few health opportunities.
She is brilliant, compassionate and should have a degree in brain recovery at this point since trying so many natural ideas during Brianne’s recovery. She is a mother of 4, grandmother of 5 and family is her favorite of ‘ALL’.
Cost is $20 per person (light refreshments will be served), Venmo here.
