Open Letters from the voyage
A written offering of presence, process, and becoming.
In this corner of Living In Awe, you’ll find letters—unfolding, unfiltered, and rooted in the sacred in-between. These are not polished conclusions or declarations of having arrived. They are soft reflections from along the path: where wonder meets grief, where growth feels tender, and where awe reveals itself in the quiet corners of everyday life.
These letters are written for the ones who are becoming, unbecoming, healing, awakening, searching for reprieve in humor and levity, and walking through the unknown with open hearts. If you’re here, it’s because the journey is calling—and you’re not walking it alone.
Friday the 13th, 2020 (my story pt. 4)
“My parents and I are sitting in a surgeon’s office downtown. People are frantically running through the halls. Some are crying. Many are wearing masks. There is mass confusion and fear in the air—what is happening? It felt like a choreographed flash mob response to the devastating blow I was being given in my quiet little hospital room. But what was really happening is three days prior on Friday, the 13th of March 2020, Covid-19 was declared a national emergency and all elective and non-life threatening surgeries were cancelled. All, but mine.”
intuition > intimidation (my story Pt. 3)
“I know there are so many patients in this office to get to and he doesn’t have time for a young 28-year old who’s healthy with no family history. I hear the condescension in his tone when he tells me I have nothing to worry about. I GET IT. But what if, and hear me out here, there is something to worry about….”
A warning sign (my story pt. 2)
“Eventually though, the doctor came in and sat next to my bed. He was a mix of puzzled, concerned, and alarmingly serious. He relayed they had found a mass on my pancreas, and he didn’t know what to make of it.”
Why “Living in awe”? (My story pt. 1)
“This is my story and it’s one I don’t tell often, maybe often enough, depending on who you ask.“
