Your journey to health begins here.

In each of our hearts, lives a light. A guiding inner consciousness that reveals to us the truths in the tales of our spirit. Gently revealing to us, in her warm glow, how we may shine our lives as a light for others. To live a life not of mediocrity, but one of kindness and compassion and truth. May we trust in the guidance of our soul, that longs to bring us on fantastic adventures, if we would be so brave as to listen. We are all as equally human as each other, and we are all in this together. In the greatest truth, we must help each other in any and every way we can. May we all walk each other home, together.

“Help” is considered a four letter word to many of us. We don’t like to ask for it because it makes us feel weak, dependent, indebted, incompetent, or a mixture of all of these things. We might also find ourselves feeling ashamed for being so needy. Asking for help is an intrinsic part of being human. We evolved as social creatures who relied on each other to have our basic needs met, so it’s a natural part of living in a society. There should be no shame in behaving the way that we were designed to behave. It gives us an opportunity to stare down our fear of being vulnerable, which is a beautiful and very human emotion. Sometimes we also need to admit that we can’t always do it on our own. There are certain times that it takes a village to get the job done, and that’s okay.
