My name is Jennylyn Hart and I have spent the last 47 years learning how to walk.

How many times have you had to relearn how to do something?

Once?
Twice?
3 times?
4 times?

How about 10 plus times? That’s about how many times I had to relearn how to walk. As a matter of fact, I am just guestimating that number because I truly have done it so many times over my life, I have lost count.

I have always been a go-getter; I took my very first steps at the age of 9 months old.

At the age of 9 years old, I had to learn how to get around with crutches because I sprained my ankle playing on the playground.

At the age of 13 years old, I sprained the other ankle playing sports.

At the age of 16, I had to relearn how to use my legs again because I suddenly became a paraplegic during a varsity basketball game.

During my stressful college years, I lost the mobility of my left side, making me have to learn how to use a cane to get around.

Then at 27 years old while I was 7 months pregnant, I again became a paraplegic and had to learn to walk with a “baby on board”. Talk about Off-Balance!

Then after baby was born, I spent more time every month relearning how to walk then I did change dirty diapers. That is until finally at age 28, I became a quadriplegic.

Jennylyn success story

I had to relearn how to do everything in a different way.

From getting dressed to brushing my teeth, I had to find my new normal.

There are a few more times I had to relearn some things just to “return to normal” but I share these instances to show you that if there is a will there is away.

When I first met the man that would eventually become my husband, he said the oddest thing to me. We were both around 20 years old, and he watched me stumble as I walked towards him and he said, “Walk much?” To which I replied, “only for about 4 years.” And I walked away!

Every day when wake up in the morning and my feet touch the floor, I remember all the ways I have relearned the simple concept of walking. I appreciate all the times that I can do things because of all the times I couldn’t do them.

Do you have the will to relearn something or even learn something new?

Do you want to have the mindset of everything is possible?

I was paralyzed several times over my life, and I relearned the same thing over and over again.

What is paralyzing you from achieving your dreams?
