“And now, born from the ashes, she’s a warrior in bloodied black.” ― Amie Kaufman

Join me, your Bronx Warrior Goddess, as I take you on this intimate journey and we explore some issues I have struggled with my entire life; issues that were totally exacerbated by the illness and death of my daughter. While much of this story is personal, it is also true that most of us have experienced some type of adversity or trial at some point in our lives.  We never know what life will throw at us. I never would have imagined that my daughter would be diagnosed with leukemia, or the hideousness of a trump presidency and a pandemic of epic proportions. And what do we do in light of circumstances that cause us pain, anger and suffering? I found that there is spiritual guidance and tools available to help us on the path to self discovery and healing.  We don't only overcome, but we can also thrive, grow and become our own truest and best selves! I share the tools I’ve learned about and used to “start over,” to grow in self-love, rebuild, renew, and restore on every level. I am finally learning to rejoice and celebrate myself! To be, feel and acknowledge who and how I truly am. We can choose to let go of the past. It does not have to dictate the present or future. We can be, and are, our own Heroines and Heroes. This knowledge is a gift I will never let be taken away from me again.  I’ve learned this late in life. But it’s never too late.  Late bloomers bloom best! No matter where we are in our lives, we can always "start over." And, of course, deepest gratitude to my blessed friends and family, without whom this inward journey could never have happened! As one of us rises, all of us rise! We are all connected.  So fasten your seatbelts! Let’s bloom, and laugh and cry together. Better Than Before!

"Genuine fearlessness arises with the confidence that we will be able to gather the inner resources to deal with any situation that comes our way."   Matthieu Ricard
