A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

Now that I’ve graduated from Indiana State and started my career, I’ve come to realize I’m just not ready to fully step away from the game. Softball has given me so much over the years, and now I’m excited to give back by offering pitching lessons! Share or reach out!!!

Karlyn Pickens threw a record breaking 78.2mph softball pitch.

From a 43 foot mound, this is the equivalent of trying to hit a 110.03mph baseball pitch. WITH RISE.

I have been working as a Tax Accountant for one week now and not a single person has asked me what my batting average was or how many strikeouts I had let alone what division I played. Play where you are happiest and have fun. 😎
