I am taking my own medicine and challenging myself to show up online and in person more, especially when it's raw and not perfect.
I wrote the last few slides that I read aloud at Story while in a Waymo on the way home from being entrained at after one of my clesties informed me that she was going to per my recommendation on Wednesday night in SF.
This summer I have gone deep. I have been doing my own shadow work, family constellations, having profound sessions with clients, and was inspired by my husband's beloved grandmother's death, and my reckoning with my father's mortality.
I bore witness to my husband's and his whole family's deep grief after their matriarch passed suddenly, and was given the gift of being able to hold space for her and for them, and to offer her reiki on her final day.
The first slide is of the altar space that we created in lieu of a dining area, and I included a snippet from when I read this at Story, and a photo of our ancestors at our wedding in January.
