The Anniversary of The Night That I Want to Forget
How getting broken can make you stronger
There are certain anniversaries worth remembering, such as weddings or the beginnings of a business, and others that we choose to honour, like cultural events or the passing of loved ones.
But there are also ones that we want to forget…
February 7th, 2024, marked the one-year anniversary since I fell and broke my arm in two places while skating with my son.
This injury has been the most significant physical setback I have ever had to endure and battle back from.
However, I’m quite aware that it pales in comparison to some people who have to suffer through a lot worse dramatic injuries or health challenges.
But for anyone suffering an injury or struggling through a health challenge right now, I want to share the three biggest lessons I learned over the past year and hope it helps you rise up stronger.
