Embracing Life's Challenges and Discovering Strength

Welcome to my corner of Stand n Roar! I'm Pat, and I'm delighted to share a bit about my journey with you. It's one of resilience, starting at the tender age of 16 when health issues became a constant companion on my path. Navigating through school with a learning disability was its own adventure, but it taught me perseverance and the value of resilience early on.

Becoming a mother at 21 was an unexpected twist in my journey, but it turned out to be one of the greatest blessings. Raising three amazing children, each with their own health hurdles to overcome, and struggles both for them and me. I learned real quick that i had to learn to trust myself and taught me the depths of love, patience, and strength I never knew I possessed.

finding myself staying in a marriage and using it as a shield against the fear of solitude, but it also brought its own set of challenges. The fear of failure haunted me, but through those trials, I discovered my own independence and the realization that I didn't need to rely on anyone for my happiness or success.

As my children grew and began to forge their own paths, I found myself facing the bittersweet reality of the empty nest. Yet, this transition also became an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. I told my children we are now equals and that i am facing the same challenges along side them once again. I am seeing it like i have a second chance at making my dreams come true, helping others where i had wish i had help with.

Through it all, my faith has been my anchor. It guided me through the storms and illuminated the path to self-acceptance and purpose. I've come to realize that every challenge was a stepping stone, shaping me into the person God intended me to be. I will be sharing you moments that i knew that God was with me and how i was able to keep putting one foot in front of the other and faking it till i made it.

My journey is far from over, and I invite you to join me as I continue to navigate life's twists and turns, embracing every challenge as an opportunity for growth and discovery. Together, let's stand tall, roar with strength, and embrace the beauty of the journey.

Thank you for being a part of this incredible adventure!

With love and gratitude,
Pat
