I love how the Universe works. That was just the bright spot I needed on a day filled with a lot of physical pain and fear. I had a severe infection in the back of my leg and at that point it was almost impossible to walk without support, a walker or wheelchair.

I *choose* to believe that this is true. And it's sure helpful to remember this while learning (read: often stumbling through) new (sometimes scary) journeys and life lessons.

Which isn't to say that some remarkable moments haven't already occurred in my life or that there isn't already an *immense* amount of things for which I'm grateful.

Those aren't mutually exclusive (activism and wellness/happiness), but rather are inextricably dependent on one another, despite all the messaging that tells us otherwise.

It's taken me years to learn this! (Lucky you if you already knew this!) This venture is the culmination of an intensive 10-year investment in extensive learning and experimentation with a variety of social justice, spiritual, and wellness modalities, some of which are seemingly diametrically opposed practices, but over time have begun to harmoniously exist within me and have ultimately supporting me in creating a life of my dreams. Seriously.

Then there's my personal and inner world. My history, my childhood, my lifestyle, my dreams, and spirituality. As robust as my professional portfolio is, my inner life is just as, if not far more, expansive. I'm both interested in sharing my lessons learned with others for whom it would be helpful, as well as connecting with kindred spirits along this journey who are exploring similar questions and ideas, and who are also diving in the deep end of life experiences with the hope of achieving great feats in service of the collective good.
