While I was on retreat this past week on Mt. Shasta, I met a new attendee there who TOTALLY INSPIRED ME. Her name is Janelle Morrison and she is a professional triathlete from Canada (Love those Canadians!). She was in a horrific car accident 4 years ago, almost lost her life, broke every major bone on the left side of her body and was in a coma for awhile. When she woke up, she was told shed be lucky to walk again, let alone compete! Well, shes competing now! Shes got lots of metal and rods in her body, but shes going for her dreams!!!! While I was at this retreat, I got the opportunity to connect and get to know her. You know how sometimes you meet someone and you feel a connection, a sister-hood (or brother-hood) RIGHT AWAY? Thats how I felt with Janelle. She is one of the most positive people Ive ever met in my life... in a very grounded and REAL way. Shes been to deaths door and has come back to live out her dreams and to inspire us all along the way. Talking to her really helped me put my slow-to-heal, up and down, ankle injury in perspective and she gave me hope that I can run again someday (I have been thinking I may have to completely give that up). Anyway, theres a movie/documentary that was made about her story and her comeback. Check it out!
