So often we think we have each step figured out and then one thing doesn’t go our way, we begin to question, we begin to fear what our next step will be. I had one of those moments 4 and a half years ago when I got diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and although I feel like I’ve shared my story enough, theres a moment in particular I wanna share with you tonight. The moment that I don’t talk about very often usually you hear me say positive things that I moved on, I pressed on, I didn’t let it slow me down. But I never talk about the moment when I feared what the future was, when I asked the question am I gonna die, my doctor looked at me and said “No, you’re gonna be alright.”And from that that point on I made the commitment that I wouldn’t let it slow me down

So when that moment comes for you, in your own circumstances in your own life, promise me one thing, don’t you ever, ever let it slow you down, cause I believe in you and I wanna thank all of you for believing in me, even when I had trouble believing in myself. 

So for that, I say thank you.
