Welcome back; and wishing you the best for your return to helping people find their inner strengths.
🧘🙏🙇♂️
Got to be back in this space today and it filled my heart so much. Almost to the day 1 year ago I taught a class to the incoming student-athletes and left with a full heart. That night I was awoken to find out Craigen was gone and my heart was shattered in a million pieces.
This has been a long month leading up to our first anniversary of losing him and also what would have been his 48th birthday.
Today when I went back to teach another group of incoming student-athletes I left with my heart a little fuller than when I walked in. I’ve always love teaching this class. But today was a little different. I felt him there, guiding me, and at the end I heard him say, “keep doing this… it’s where you’re suppose to be.”
Craigen and I’s first date was at GU basketball game (it’s how he got the date 😉) and he proposed to me at St. Aloysius Church on campus.
When I started teaching at GU I taught in a little space above the old gym and I would peeked over and think of our first date there. I hustled so hard to get my foot in the door there and start teaching and Craigen was always so proud and supportive of me and knew how much it lit me up.
Today reminded me of all that and I felt him cheering and guiding me still just like he always did the last 23 years.
❤️💙
