Through a poignant reflection of her father's debilitating stroke, Christie Aschwanden explores the concept of uncertainty as not just an inevitable hazard of life, but a herald of new opportunities. When her father transitions from a robust long-distance cyclist to being wheelchair-bound, she realizes that life's sudden changes knock open the door to adjusting, learning and transforming in unexpected ways. The key lies in the ability to live in the 'now' and then approach uncertainty as an exciting opportunity for exploration and potential growth. As the uncertainty in her father's post-stroke life urged him to pivot to new possibilities and redefined living; so, she conjectures, could uncertainty propel us towards a future brimming with potential.
