Liam Gryphon

Since this is my first blog, I decided to write about something personal to give other bloggers some insight into my life. This summer, I gave birth to the most amazing little boy, whose name is Liam. The experiences I've endured the past few months of my life have been groundbreaking and life changing. I really feel blessed, and fortunate to have such an amazing boy.

One thing I experienced at my internship, that also made me feel blessed, was a conversation with a young man. He came in and asked if he looked familiar, which he did. I told him yes, but realized he was talking 'slower' than average, and I didn't remember that. He then went on to tell me that he was in a bad accident, and experienced brain damage.

This story, and ones like this, make me thankful for my health. It makes me realize how quickly life can change, or even end. I really don't think "thank you" is ever overstated, and that we need to live each day as positively and powerfully as we can. Its impossible to tell what the future might hold for us. I look forward to sharing the next few months with everyone as we discuss what we learn throughout the semester.
