From Hopelessness to Understanding to Healing
Published September 30, 2020 Have you ever looked back on your life and recognized that some of the most challenging events, though perhaps experienced as painful at the time, gave you your own unique perspective and skill set? This has definitely been the case for me, starting in my teens, when I tripped on train tracks and fell across the rails as a train approached. The engineer could not brake soon enough to avoid hitting me. Yes, I dragged myself off just in time, but I

Valuable Lessons from my Health Journey
Published January 30, 2018 In 2012, after a brief period of physical decline, I found myself bedridden and unable to move for 8 months. I was entirely helpless and relied on others for all of my needs. My previous life had been all about fitness, yet here I was without the strength to lift my head or hold a cell phone, let alone stand. My nervous system was in a terrifying state of disarray, either over or under responsive, that I would best describe as a neurological firesto
