Support Stephanie's Healing Journey

Dear Friends of Stephanie Power,

As some of you will already know, Stephanie was the victim in a severe car accident on Tuesday, April 29th. She was taken from the scene to the hospital where she remains unconscious in the ICU. She is receiving excellent care and though her body is showing very positive signs of healing she is still in critical condition. In order to put all their energy into Stephanie’s care, the Family are asking for privacy at this time. We ask that there be no visitors to the hospital until Stephanie is ready to receive them herself. Updates on her progress will be posted when news becomes available.

Regardless of timing Stephanie will have a long and challenging road of recovery ahead of her. We wanted to set up this account to help her on that journey. She will likely incur hefty medical and legal costs in addition to her basic living expenses, all while not being able to work for the foreseeable future. We hope this fund will help relieve any of those financial pressures so she will be able to focus on her health and recovery.

As anyone who has met Stephanie will know, she is a bright ray of sunshine who brings the joy and warmth to every room. She is a spiritual person who believes in the healing powers of nature and positive energy. If you have any offerings of love and good vibes, they will be received and appreciated by her family and loved ones.

MAY

May, and among the miles of leafing,

blossoms storm out of the darkness –

windflowers and moccasin flowers. The bees

dive into them and I too, to gather

their spiritual honey. Mute and meek, yet theirs

is the deepest certainty that this existence too --

this sense of well-being, the flourishing

of the physical body – rides

near the hub of the miracle that everything

is a part of, is as good

as a poem or a prayer, can also make

luminous any dark place on earth.

Thank you!
