HISTORY through HerSTORY

Ever sat in front of HISTORY HerSTORY and got a chance to listen to it for 1.5 hours? I did last month. How I’ve ended up here is beyond me, but I’m amazed at this chance I got. To sit in front of HerSTORY and soak in the pain, triumphs and continuing journey is amazing to me. She gave me the opportunity to peek into her past and how she became the figure she is today. I had NO words but “WOW.” Nothing else sufficed.

To even say “THANK YOU” for her time is inadequate. I walked away feeling like my life has been a garden of cherry blossoms. I walked away being reminded that the “Thanks” I must say in my nightly prayer must be extensive. I walked away knowing that God really did give some people strength that Atlas WISHED he could have had. 26 years and she hasn’t yet shrugged.

So thankful. For her deeming me worthy of her time. For HIM for putting her here to do such work. Maybe I can carry that torch. But hers is still so bright that I just stare at it, mouth agape.
