My Why...
I was in Corporate America for 24 years in the mortgage industry. I have done many different jobs in mortgage, but the majority of my time was spent running internal operations; (processing, underwriting, closing, funding, selling loans on the secondary market and legal). I worked my way up the 'corporate ladder' always thinking, work harder, make more money to create a better life for myself and my son... blah blah blah! I was a serious work-a-holic working a min. of 60 hours a week. My son would call me at 8:00 PM begging me to come home, demanding I turn off my 3 computers and 2 cell phones and come home. I was beyond a hot mess. Looking back now, I was an unhappy, unbalanced, depressed, maniac!!! Oh, on top of that, I played competitive tennis in league and many tournaments. (I call this person, "The Old Karen")
Five years ago I was in a car accident and hurt my back pretty badly. I have had 14 different procedures on it and I still live in pain every single day. I went from being on the go constantly to not being able to leave my bed. I was not able to go back to work because I can't sit or stand for long periods of time. Needless to say, it was an extreme shock to me both mentally and physically. I lost myself and my identity, I lost my career that I worked so hard for, I lost so many opportunities with my own child, I felt horribly guilty and I wanted to give up and not deal with life anymore. The only reason I am still here to this day is because of my amazing son and Jesus!
It is crazy how after that accident, I thought my life was over and now I thank God every single day for that accident! That accident saved my life!
Enter in "New Karen" I am doing much better physically and mentally now. I have come to grips that my back will most likely cause me pain for the rest of my life and that is okay. As long as I listen to my body and do the right thing, I will be okay!! I am happy to report that, my son, Colin and I are closer than ever and truly appreciate and love each other. THAT right there, is the biggest accomplishment of my life!
