Finally got the last of my medals up and took this pic while everything’s still in place.

These go all the way back to 2014, and this is actually the first time they’ve all been on the wall at the same time. Not because I didn’t want to, but because after shoulder surgery in 2023, I couldn’t reach up to hang them. A whole year passed. Now that the house is on the market, I wanted to make sure I got this picture before they eventually have to come down.

They’re not just medals. They’re part of the story. I started out walking. I’ve run through asthma, flat feet, shin splints, surgeries, chronic illnesses, things that really could’ve shut it all down. I’ve stopped, started, struggled, rested, kept going. Every one of these was earned.

This wall has reminded me for years that I’m still here, still going, still doing what I can.

So before anything changes, I just wanted this moment for myself.

If you’re dealing with your body, your health, your energy, or just trying to make it through the day, you’re not the only one.

This is part of my story. I just hope it reminds you to keep going with yours.
