And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast. (1 Peter 5:10 NIV)
MISFORTUNE TO MIRACLE
With all due respect, Kimberly Smith doesn’t need anyone, quite frankly, to remind her of just how precious — and fragile — life is.
Consider, if you will, the devastating, horrific and life-altering turn of events that transpired in the life of this young Mid-South businesswoman 12 days before Christmas in 2019.
For Smith, she had initially awakened that day without a care in the world, eager to begin what was supposed to have been another day’s journey as a rural carrier for the United States Postal Service.
“That morning when I woke up and got ready for work, I did not know my life would change so drastically,” Smith told Making Headline News during a weekend interview. “I’ve always been the type of person to control things that go on around me, but that day it was totally out of my control and the only way I survived is through God’s intervention.”
Before God had ultimately stepped in and miraculously rescued her from harm’s way, Smith’s life was very much hanging in the balance when she victimized by a vicious attack by a pair of pit bulls.

According to Smith, who was lying on back during the gruesome attack that transpired at 8:50 a.m. CST, “both dogs were biting on my flesh,” an unlikely incident that resulted in her sustaining several deep wounds to her body, mostly to her arms and hands.
Smith spent 10 days in the hospital as a result of her injuries and received an undisclosed number of stitches, although according to her, “The ER sent me home the day of the attack and the next day, I returned, and the plastic surgeon removed the stitches. You’re not supposed to stitch up dog bites. I found that out later. He then admitted into the hospital due to the infections.”
At approximately 6 o’clock CDT Friday morning, Smith relived what undoubtedly was the darkest day of her life in a lengthy Facebook post, an emotionally-driven memory that, because of the divine calling on her life, has steadily increased her faith and, most of all, drawn her ever-so-closer to the Almighty God.
“God saved my life on December 13, 2019 for a reason,” Smith recalls. “All the odds were stacked against me, but He still found a reason to save little ole me. I owe my life to helping others change their life. That day, I laid on the ground while the two pit bulls were biting on my flesh, I did not know I needed a total life change.”
In appropriately playing off of words, Smith is alluding to her affiliation with Total Life Changes, an internationally-acclaimed business that has developed what is a widely described as a “true sense of family,” one that is shared by its independent business owners, executive staff, and customer service agents.
In essence, Total Life Changes — or TLC as it is suitably called — is credible in that it customarily provides its members with an unlimited opportunity to grow their business, not to mention develop a network of offices located across the world.
A native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama who resides with her family in Tupelo, Mississippi, Smith deemed it essential to join TLC weeks before the one-year anniversary of her horrendous attack that changed the overall landscape of her life.
Currently an independent distributor for the company that offers a variety of health and wellness products, Smith was inspired to join Total Life Changes by TLC Executive Ambassador, Stormy Wellington, and Jack Fallon, TLC’s founder and CEO.
A business venture that customarily offers products to people and groups ranging in ages two years-and-up, Smith has enjoyed a considerable amount of success since she joined TLC, which has become a fixture for providing thousands of people around the world with the opportunity to build a brighter future, most notably by way of living and savoring a healthy lifestyle, as well as through the financial freedom and flexibility they seek.
For her valiant efforts since joining the company, Smith is a recipient for the Total Life Changes’ The Hungry For More Award.
“I am able to change other people’s lives through amazing products and a one-of-a-kind opportunity to become financially free,” Smith, a former U. S. Army veteran, said. “This venture has connected me with business partners who signed up under me from California.”

Much to Smith’s delight, that she’s having an immediate impact as a newcomer to TLC, by all accounts, is a sign of things to come, she said.
A massive sign of things to come, to put it more precisely, considering how God had gone about orchestrating arguably the biggest miracle of her life, one she vividly recalled once again bright and early Friday morning at the top of her Facebook timeline.
“I’ve gone through a lot with the pit bulls attacking me,” Smith said. “I was so full of pride, anger, rage, selfishness, and that attack taught me how to be grateful and to change my behavior. I was put on this earth for a reason and, before the attack, I always wondered what it was. It’s my responsibility to encourage, inspire, and motivate others to know if I can make it out of my circumstance, they can, too.
“Also, in surviving the attack, I realized what my father has always taught me,” Smith continued. “My dad is a retired preacher and I’ve been taught about faith and God’s grace. I did not truly understand it until I encountered it for myself. There was no possible way I did anything to save myself. It was all God. The more I found out about my injuries and what could have actually happened, the more I believed in Him.”
All of which practically sums up why this walking miracle of a woman doesn’t need anyone to remind her just how precious — and fragile — life is.
With all due respect.
