This is a message to anyone who has been dismissed: Don't let them tell you you're 'too young.' If your body is sending you signals you can't explain, push for answers. Your life depends on it.

Taking a moment to practice the pause...then ask creator, God, what ever you call your higher power (praying) how to navigate the situation. This where I am at...and I have so much more peace in my life.
Do you practice the pause?

I am just grateful to be ALIVE and well.

What an AMAZING adventure and day of making a difference at a Co-Design with Eli Lilly. I was able to catch up with family too! I've met some incredible humans on my travels. I am grateful.
I love getting away, but for now..I'm heading home... to Maine
