It has been a long journey to this point.

In a life that spans just thirty-seven years, Gabbi has known profound loss — losing her father first through the grip of addiction, her best friend to cancer, her marriage, and almost the loss of her own self.

Through those losses, she gained perspective, perseverance, and purpose. What has emerged from the ashes is beauty — a rediscovery of grace, grit, and the unmistakable goodness of God.

As she watched the purpose of those she loved appear derailed — and as her own calling seemed to vanish — these words were born. Penned not from certainty, but from obedience. And with her little women and each one of you in mind.

It is her prayer that as you walk this road — this race of faith and life — you will feel the wind return to your sails. That you will breathe deeply again. That you will know you are not alone, not sidelined, not finished. And that you will lift your chin, eyes full of fierce determination, and run with all gusto the race marked out for you.

So what are you waiting for, friend?

Let us run.
