A Year Later

It's been a whole year since my last post and I apologize for this. I had intended to share my journey with you but I found out that by focusing on sharing, it took away from my process and art.

I experienced big changes in my menstrual cycle which caused me to be overwhelmingly exhausted during my silent retreats and because of heavy flow, I developed anemia, which made it worse. So my 13 months of silent retreats has culminated in a hysterectomy not a vision quest. Perhaps my vision quest has been the hysterectomy. It has been a big life changing event and full of awareness.

A couple of days before my surgery I picked a card from Caroline Myss's, Healing Cards that said, "it's never too late to have a new body." I took that as a good sign. Just one week after surgery, I am paitiently awaiting my new body, I feel it transforming and evolving. I am being reborn in the process.
