It's time. It's time I told my story. In writing. For everyone to see. Gulp.
It's not an epic autobiography or anything, but it tells about the most impactful events over the last 11 years that have profoundly impacted the direction of my life. And it's been hard, I'm not gonna lie. I'm a very positive and optimistic person so please don't mistake me for complaining about it. It's just facts. I have had some excellent friends and teachers this past year who encouraged me to talk about it. Thank you to Mai Bell for listening and always having the right thing to say. Thank you to Catherine Peterson for telling me I can do this and for giving me a place to live. Thank you to
Sarah Gardner for creating magic and a safe place for me to land as we embarked on our collaboration of life and art on our youtube channels and thank you to the incredible Lisa Garr who took her valuable time to gift me the support and encourgement in helping me solidify and weave my story into my soul's purpose. Thank you also to the many wonderful friends and family I have across the world. I love you all so much. (You know who you are!) Lastly, thank you to my followers and subscribers! I've been a tad quiet, (even though there are dozens of projects waiting for you!) because of my daily fatigue but you all mean so much to me! You are the reason I go forward. I am so fortunate to be in a position where I can help you, encourage you and inspire you and I am eternally grateful you are with me on this journey.
It's a very vulnerable feeling writing my story for the public to see. But it was time. I am no longer afraid of sharing it and opening up. I have been brave and full of courage as I marched along and I didn't want it to be the forefront or an excuse. But I can see now that I who I am today and where I am today is because of my journey and I've learned so much. I've realized that you learn and grow best when you go through hardship. And the more you tell your story, the more you heal.
I have a great feeling about this year. I can feel a wicked good energy coming on. (I'm not including covid in this). I'm excited about things to be and things I'm going to make happen. I feel it for us all. I hope you do, too.
Lastly, I want to thank Sarah Gardner (aka juicy*S Art) for encouraging me to blog. I was going to delete my blog from my website completely, but, I think I'll keep it around.... It feels kinda good to get it all out.
Many blessings to you all.
