🎤IN BETSY’S WORDS...
Hello, I’m Betsy. First, I am a new me. I am a wife of 33 years and 12 years dating. I am a MOM to my baby girl, who recently got married. I am a friend. I love to TALK! I love to spread my knowledge to everyone. I am proud I have learned so much through all my TEARS.
One day I was a happy girl, doing what I loved, worked for doctors doing medical billing, exercising, laughing, smiling, and loving!
The next my life drastically changed. The happy, loving, CONFIDENT woman I was becoming somehow over the years LEFT- leaving a little girl who lost her brother, 18, at 21 to Mental Illness. And lost my mom, 42, at 23- also to Mental Illness. My dad passed away from an aggressive MS.
I went to three different High Schools, which taught me to be outgoing and I can go somewhere by myself and have fun! I also love MUSIC.
I started to have back pain, and my whole body was in pain. My nervous system wasn’t working. The switch in my brain stayed on 24/7.
I was caught in a web of pain and failed surgeries, medicine that poisoned my body, and Depression was at its worst.
So 30 years of struggling, researching, seeing doctors, crying, and praying this would go away, I never gave up hope that one day I would be the real me again.
2 years ago, I made the mental decision to get off the poison I was putting in my body. And be aware and focused. I found a pain therapist who was a Godsend in my life—someone who can relate to me and my issues and tell me I’m not a burden. I am smart. I am ENOUGH!
And then God sent me Gina Bell and Tears & Tulle.
This was way out of my box, and the more I got to know her, the more I saw what she was doing. How creative and colorful everything was. Positive in every way and that Rainbow Tulle Skirt! I was amazed!
I started to see change in me, along with the most important people, my husband and daughter. And then my family and friends could see how much stronger I was. HOW CONFIDENT I’VE BECOME.
That was over a year ago. Tears & Tulle had become a very safe and happy place for me. It is a very powerful movement that has changed my outlook on everything.
I’m so grateful I learned how to find my colors once again. I show up for life every day with a smile on my face! As I walk past MY skirt and its colors, I realize how blessed I am and how the real me has been hiding for so long.
I want people to know the OTHER side of all my pain.
May I be safe....
May I be happy....
May I be healthy....
May I live with ease.....
♥️
Betsy
