Trauma is a Catalyst - Carrie Rickert - Bog

A catalyst is something or someone that provokes significant change. A trauma is a catalyst. The change--whether physical, emotional, spiritual, or all three--doesn't happen immediately. The change is a journey with side steps and detours along the way. The only hard and fast rule is that you can't go back to who you were before. This is the story of Carrie Rickert's journey of change after such a catalyst. Her life-threatening accident and related complications started her down this path of examining what was, what is, and what could be. Most importantly, though, this is a story of hope, of possibility, of embracing the fight to become something new. This path has been filled with craters and dips, pivots and weird circles, and a lot of it has been completely terrible. If she had an option, she wouldn't go back. She wouldn't trade who she is now and who she is going to become. Join Carrie on this journey of life's ups and downs and let her words, her perspective, and her humor about it all inspire you to be grateful for the catalysts in your life.
