Thank you God on repeat 😭 7 x National Champion 😱 I have worked and prayed for this moment. They say nothing worthwhile comes easy -- 4 years have passed since my last national title. It’s difficult to talk about the massive disappointment, failure and heartbreak endured over these years. I've wondered if my story was was over. I've doubted if I’d ever get back to this place. I've been devastated beyond what I thought I could survive at times, but even in the midst of broken roads and shattered plans, I knew quitting was not an option. It’s so important to walk in your purpose and hold onto your dreams. If you're just starting, navigating change(s), or dealing with setbacks, be extraordinary and commit to your personal best every single day because ALL things are possible. Success doesn’t define us, but if I’ve been able to accomplish anything in this life, it's because of my tribe and team who’ve helped me to defy the odds. All that I am, and that I will ever be is due to your love and belief. Thank you for not giving up on me. ❤️🙏🏾 📸: Rick Stephens Photography
