Sometimes you never really understand the impact of the things we experience in this lifetime until you are on the receiving end of life on it's own terms. My goal and desire is to sit in the same room and listen to those around me that have experienced those things in life that bring us to our knees. I want to sit with people who may or may not understand the power they hold in their lives to grow into something beautiful. I want to hold space for the person who comes to the realization that life is to be lived now.
