Candice 2.0

This picture may just be a photo of a jacket, but for me it is a new chapter. After surviving a life-threatening brain injury and essentially dying three times. They deemed me safe enough to go home under the care of my husband and in-laws. To be honest this a restart of my company. I thought I would never do the things I used to. That life was over. I had to find my way in this new life. I would go to work with my husband and his understanding boss. I would let go of my quad-cane and walk like a toddler with their first steps towards my husband. First two steps, then five, then ten. The progress felt so slow I didn't see it. I had decided if I was going down, I was going to fight like Hell. That is what I did. I folded socks. I did therapy at home. I tried things I was told I would never do again because that is what people that fight like Hell do. All of a sudden, the things the doctors said I would never do again I started to do. Then I decided I had proven the doctors wrong before; they could be wrong about other things. Now anytime a doctor says I can't do something I find a different one, and I prove the other one wrong. It is a journey, but for the first time it is not about the destination, it is about the beautiful journey. God finds you on the journey not the destination. I made this shirt because somebody made a casual joke of how my company failed. Wrong decision... I made this sweater at 11:30 at night on my first week back in my own house under my own care. It was made for my stepsons baseball game. I put a post on Facebook that anything TBI related will always and forever be on sale. This sweater represents Candice 2.0. The version of me that drives, works, and now restarted her company. The version that joined the SBA, and registered as a woman owned small business. I owe so much to the loved ones that helped me get here. I owe even more to those who doubted me, you pushed me here... I enjoyed every second of it. I thank God, my Mother Mary, and all my prayer warriors. Candice 2.0 is a million times better than the old version. When you buy anything here you are supporting my mission and growth. My new and improved family on our journey. I am most importantly showing my kids that when all hope is lost. Pray to God, then fight like Hell.
