Milford Sound, NZ - 2018. This was the year I really dove head first into my 'cam' and adult modeling journey and it changed my life forever. When I got sick in my early twenties, I never believed what the doctor's told me - that I'd never be able to do certain things again; that I'd be disabled and limited for the rest of my life. I rejected that belief. I exited conventional, reductionist medicine and opened my mind to alternatives. While I always hung on to hope, I never quite imagined a life like this. It's brought me consistent challenges, no doubt. When I tell people bits of my 'life story' I often get a surprised reaction, *so how many lives have you lived?* ... As we enter into pisces season, I feel myself integrating all I've learned over the last year, and especially through my grief of losing my sweet pup last month. My heart still aches. Some days are extremely difficult. But I have a peace inside me that I never knew was possible. I feel I am entering a deeper phase of 'reclamation.' My soul is still missing parts that I hope to find through this lifetime. But I feel my heart opening in beautiful ways. Grateful for this life. Grateful for the lessons.
