Last year the idea of turning 60 was overwhelming, and brought with it issues of depression, and loss of self esteem. I found myself on the edge of a place in my life journey that I never want to experience again.

I was fortunate to have an amazing family who intervened, and an incredible therapist, who has been named "the wise one, the guardian angel" who has through meditation, inspired reading, and countless wonderful hours of therapy brought me to my awakening.

I have tattooed on my wrist the key words that were so crucial to my awakening: Onward, Breathe, Stay.

Never give up, believe in yourself, and above all ask for help, but most of all for me it was Breathe! My key has been passed to my "wise one" for that next individual who on their journey need that encouragement to hold steady and Breathe.
