It was not long ago, that I went where I wanted, when I wanted. It was not long ago, that my dream was just that, "my dream". It was not long ago, we would uproot our family time and time again. It was not long ago, we would continue to work hard, make sacrifices,  and move up "the ladder"..Not long ago, we would learn our ladder had been leaning against the WRONG WALL!

I understand, as I later went maskless to several retail corporations that same day, I have become like the albatross around the neck of so many, a burden to society..we are looked upon as IMPEDING progress ..HOW will this VIRUS EVER GO AWAY WITH PEOPLE LIKE ME??? 

As I got into the car yesterday..what seemed to be just an ordinary trip to Target turned courageous!

As I pulled into the parking lot, I asked God to give me the courage to walk in...DARE I SAY MASKLESS?

Looking back, I believe there was a DIVINE DISRUPTION that happened January 6th, 2019, one that really got our family's attention in a BIG WAY! 
 

Last year at this time,  I was celebrating a milestone birthday with beers and friends. This year, I am celebrating much differently.
