Back to Becki: March-April 2017 Grit and Grace vs. Ponies and Angels

Life has a way of getting busy without you even realizing it. March and April were no strangers to this. With a solid resolve to say Yes to just about any opportunity that was thrown at me, I somehow found myself at Comicon in Salt Lake City with my sister and her kids. I can say with honesty, this is something everyone should do at least once. Also with complete honesty, once was enough for me, but I'm glad I went. I dressed up as a My Little Pony named Rarity, and was told by a middle-aged man, in the best creeper voice ever, that "Rarity is best pony."

I took a quick weekend trip to AZ to visit Neil, and then to St. Louis for a work trip. The first weekend in April was dedicated to Zion's National Park with my niece, India. We hiked Angel's Landing, the first real strenuous activity I'd done since the accident. We made it to the top, feeling very mortal. Hats off to anyone that has done this sketchy hike. Easter came and went. I don't even remember what I did for it. And I took and passed a Concealed Firearms Permit class (don't mess).

I had been in touch with some people from on online magazine called The Grit and Grace Project. In March, I had been asked to be a contributing writer for the magazine, and share my story in a three-part series. April 20th was my first published article, while the other two came in the following two weeks.
