Im So excited that you are here and apart of this fabulous experience with me. When I decided to become a part of the LuLaRoe family, the one thing that always gave me encouragement was listening to and reading their 'why's'. In order to explain my why, I must explain a little more about me. My name is Nikki, I am 31 and married to my best friend and my saving grace. I met him when I was 18 years
old. We have had some tough and rocky years to say the least, but we have always made it through together. I was diagnosed with childhood caner at the age of 10. At the age of 17 I had a tracheostomy tube placed in my neck due to breathing troubles. At the age of 23, after a total of 3 tracheostomy surgeries and placed on a feeding tube for almost a year, I was faced with a decision that would change my life. I was had to decide if I would spend my life living off a feeding tube or without a voice. During the last 7 years, I lost myself in the mist everything. From the a child to a young adult I was always a outgoing, open, happy, easy to get a long with, people person. The greatest joys I have ever felt in my life, aside from my family, my husband, and most importantly my son, is being part of the reason someone else smiles. Durning the 7 years, I lost my confidence, my self worth, my happiness for the most part. I felt like I was a burden to those around me and just a freak for others to stare at. To those who knew me or know me, I have never been one to hold back and my life has always been a open book. To those who I met after the age of 23, only a few remained a part of my life because I was too afraid they wouldn't understand me. To this day, I am still afraid of judgement and feeling like I don't belong. LuLaRoe has given me the strength to dig deep and find myself again. So, my WHY is because I deserve to be myself again and I want to enjoy life. Im slowly breaking out of my comfort zone and as scary as that is, I don't think I could have done it any other way. THANK YOU! Because of you all and the wonderful family of LuLaRoe, I am able to believe and hope that life does get better after all the bad.
