My Story
I used to think a good day was one where I finished the list.
I don’t measure days that way anymore.
Now I try to build a day that moves forward without emptying me. That simple shift has changed almost everything.
In 2000 I had a bad reaction to a prescription. The doctors I trusted had no real answers, so I tried something different: a raw vegan way of eating. Within 45 days I felt a change I had not found anywhere else. Years later another medication reaction damaged my adrenals and closed the career path I was on. Those two experiences forced me to stop trying to force my life into an old shape. I had to start redesigning it around the body and limits I actually live with.
That redesign is still underway. Every morning I begin with prayer and time in the Bible — not as a religious duty, but because I want kindness, patience, and love to have a
better chance of showing up in the ordinary moments of the day.
The rest of my time is spent learning: how to work gently with my own health realities, how to pace a life that still gets things done, and how to turn what I’m discovering into something that might steady someone else when their own path gets hard.
I have been asked to teach classes and stand in front of rooms full of people. Most would never guess I am an introvert. The courage to do it doesn’t come from being naturally outgoing. It comes from loving the work enough that I’m willing to do what is required to keep it alive.
I am applying my own program to my own life first. I am still in the middle of the redesign. Even this page is part of it.
If you’re walking through something hard with your health or your life, I hope something here helps you feel a little less alone in the process.
