“My goal in life is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared” ~ Mary Kay Ash
Lately I have been reading about amazing women in business, gleaning from their motivation and experiences. As a solo entrepreneur, I have the desire to fill my life and time with strong, amazing women who change the world around them. I have been blessed to know Trickett.
Here is a peek into the heart of one amazing woman.....
Here is a peek into the heart of one amazing woman.....
"I was a little scared to try to braid Tealyn's hair last night. It's her first day at school tomorrow and she loves the waves from French braids after she sleeps on it. But my fingers aren't working as well and sometimes painfully cramp in this wierd straight-finger way. (By the response of friends who see my face as it happens, I think I must look like I got an electrical shock, Wylie Coyote comes to mind.)
I procrastinated for a full day, and then I just got brave...it's her big day and I'm going to need to face it if braiding isn't something I can do anymore.
I got two cramps and grunted a bit through the last part because my torso hurt, but I finished it...not my best work but not my worst As I finished the braid, Tealyn asked me "Mom, do you think this will be the last time you can braid my hair?" My reply, "I can tell you it won't be the last time I try"
My reward. That smile :) "

You see this woman, who is struggling each day with the degeneration of ALS, has created awareness in thousands, touch the hearts of countless, and been the world to three. If you ever get a chance to sit and talk with Trickett, you will see a truly beautiful and unique soul. She struggles with her future, she cries at the daily losses, she fights for the daily victories, and she smiles every chance she gets because she won't always be able. She has been an inspiration and motivation in my life.
She has needs, needs she won't publicly announce. Massage for a Cause on September 20th is my way, the clinic's way to help Trickett's family purchase equipment not covered by insurance. This is my opportunity, our opportunity to make a difference in our community, with one of Wisconsin's daughters.
On September 20th from 12p-4p, Wisconsin Wellness, in conjunction with Strength Through Wellness and Essential Yoga Wellness Center, will be offering 30 minute table massages for $30, with ALL monies being given to Team Trickett Wendler: Fewell to Fight ALS, to help purchase her speech generating device and other equipment, not covered by insurance. Collectively I believe we can accomplish a goal of $900, but we truly cannot do this without you...
Please call the clinic for more details, get on the schedule, or just to donate. 262.373.9181.
