Welcome to my blog. On April 1st, 2010—yes, April Fool's Day—I faced something far from a joke: a sudden brain bleed that changed my life. Since then, my journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, filled with faith, resilience, and a fair share of surprises. I’m here to share that journey with you—every lesson, every breakthrough, and every moment in between
