Gratitude

Hello, loves. I am pretty sure I vowed to blog more often in my last post in January…of 2025. But per usual, life lifed in the most naturally, unimaginable ways that have once again taken me off a beaten path I began a couple of years ago. And trust, it was the most treacherous one by far. In 2025, I lost my mom and met my first grandbaby within months of each other. No, these two things did not cancel one another out to emotionally balance me, but the beautiful Jade certainly represented the teaspoon of sugar which made the medicine go down a little sweeter.

Amid the many storms I continue to brave privately, I remain filled with an incredible abundance of gratitude for everything else in my life. Each and every experience in my cup is the thing that powers me whenever I dare to think about giving in to despair. One day, I will share my grieving process in hopes it will help others but today is not the day. Today, I am wriggling fingers in a hello again wave because you cannot see me mounting my proverbial horse after dusting myself off for the umpteenth time. This journey is not for the faint at heart, but it is rewarding, nonetheless.

I salute you for all of the adversity people do not know about, and I encourage you to keep on keeping on. Remember, nothing happens to you but for you. You belong here and are simply enough.

Nurture your light. Blessed be. -Dr. T <3
