At 14, Taylor Lindsay-Noel was paralyzed in a gymnastics accident. Now the Toronto native is the driving force behind a fledgling organic loose leaf tea company included in the December issue of @Oprah’s magazine https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/2020/11/15/theres-so-much-to-life-after-a-tragedy-at-14-taylor-lindsay-noel-was-paralyzed-in-a-gymnastics-accident-now-shes-one-of-oprahs-favourite-things.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=OpinionContributor&utm_content=loose-leaf-call
Since @Taylorln broke her neck when she was 14, the paralyzed gymnast often relied on prayer and miracles. She launched a high-end luxury organic tea company called @cupofteshop in 2017, a venture that came with the expected business challenges https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/2020/11/15/theres-so-much-to-life-after-a-tragedy-at-14-taylor-lindsay-noel-was-paralyzed-in-a-gymnastics-accident-now-shes-one-of-oprahs-favourite-things.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=OpinionContributor&utm_content=loose-leaf-call
By July, @Taylorln had been asking God for months for a sign — “I needed a massive sign; really, I needed a billboard” — anything to signal a future in her business @cupofteshop https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/2020/11/15/theres-so-much-to-life-after-a-tragedy-at-14-taylor-lindsay-noel-was-paralyzed-in-a-gymnastics-accident-now-shes-one-of-oprahs-favourite-things.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=OpinionContributor&utm_content=loose-leaf-call
It was July 15 - the anniversary of her accident - that @Taylorln got an email notifying her that her product was being considered for inclusion in @oprahmagazine. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/2020/11/15/theres-so-much-to-life-after-a-tragedy-at-14-taylor-lindsay-noel-was-paralyzed-in-a-gymnastics-accident-now-shes-one-of-oprahs-favourite-things.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=OpinionContributor&utm_content=loose-leaf-call
Last month, @cupofteshop was confirmed. It now has the midas touch that happens when @Oprah puts her stamp of approval on a product.
“I said, ‘OK, God, I hear you.’” @taylorin says now. “I think I’m living my best life.”
