2025: A Tribute

Astray in the shadows
Devoured by fear
I am
Desperate for light
Starved for relief
Exhausted by Being
The mind plays a trick
Yet it all feels so real
Still
I know
This is not Me
I know
God has a plan
I know
I must move through
And so I go
Into the fire
Amidst The broken
The lost
The scared
and
The wounded
Exposed and vulnerable
Terrified and fragile
Different but the same
Haunted by ego
Bullied by false self
We come to surrender
To shed
To remember
We come to share
To listen
To learn
To love
With
Patience and compassion
Honesty and understanding
I will never forget
These beautiful humans
Forever connected
By a wrinkle in time
Forever transformed
Into people we forgot we were and always dreamed we could become

2025 was undoubtedly one of the hardest and most transformative periods in my life. It was a year of deep and painful personal exploration that required intense faith, resilience and recovery. I am grateful for the immense support I received- the incredible humans- family, friends, clients who showed up for me and tirelessly reminded me of who I truly Am. I will never forget. I am also grateful for the people who couldn’t- creating new space and fresh opportunity for true love and real connection. I am grateful for God - for guiding me, protecting me and redirecting me away from harm and toward all that is for my highest and best good.

I dedicate this post to Anyone who is suffering from mental health issues, chronic pain and any other “invisible” dis-ease. Unless we share, no one knows. And there isn’t one person on the planet who hasn’t felt a type of mental, physical, hormonal and/or emotional pain at some point in their life.

So with that, I declare: I see You. I am here for You. You are not forgotten. You are never alone. You are loved. Have faith. And don’t hesitate to reach out.

With Love ❤️
