On this journey remember: "Pain is a means rather than an end. It's an event in the moment - but over a lifetime, becomes a choice: What do you want to do with your pain?" - Mitch Artman. One spark - can ignite hope. And through winding trails and bright stars - Adventures can always begin!

Re-learning to breathe again, and just exist - as myself (whoever she is). As I navigate cptsd, grief, and loneliness from losing most of my family. I've lost my brother and best friend a decade ago, then losing my dad and mom within 5 years, through cancer. I've lost a pregnancy and a marriage. Just trying to keep rowing my boat in a positive direction, through the oceans of life.
