Dear soul family,

I come to asking for support again. This is so difficult for me to ask for more financial help. On Jan 9th- I was in a serious dirt biking accident. What was supposed to be a healing trip became another mini- nightmare and more physical and emotional trauma (nothing compared to Charles death- yet, still soul and body crushing given the tender space I am in and the fact I was just starting to peek out from my cocoon of insane grief)

As anyone who knows me deeply- it’s not like I’m not doing ALL the things. I am seeking healing, guidance and therapy. I’ve also cut any and all expenses that I can spare. I’m now faced months of physical recovery. My left leg will require two orthopedic surgeries on my left kneed and ankle. I have decent insurance that helps, but medical expenses pile up quickly. I am unable to return to the massage work that feels like the easy path back into the “real” world. The support (financial, emotional, spiritual, physical) I have received through this tragic time has kept me afloat and miraculously got me to the 6 month point past Charles death.

I’ve relocated to Salt Lake City for the foreseeable future to be supported by family. I’m currently living with my favorite Aunt Elaine rent free until I am able to get back to work. My savings has run dry. So I come to my soul family in humility asking for financial help again.

If you have anything to spare, any small amount helps. And just like I did with the first, anyone who donates over $200 will get a intuitive healing session with me if you desire. I’m getting close to feeling strong enough to hold some healing space and sessions. For those of you who are able- or donated previously- I will to reach out after my surgeries to coordinate.

I have surrendered to the fact I do not have control. Spirit (the god of your own understanding) is at the wheel. Charles death has rocked me to my core. And the physical injuries have made life much harder.

I am committed to life and a life that lights me up- just as I've always been. I’m a resilient MF and I will rise. My life will be playful, beautiful and joyful again. Im healing. I laugh daily. I cry daily. Sometimes a few tears, sometimes an ocean. My tender heart is pulverized. And I am strong, courageous and will find a way through the darkness and help others navigate their own darkness.

Big love and gratitude from the depths of this broken heart.

Massive thank you. I love you.

Xoxo

Mary
