About three months ago, my body underwent it's biggest trauma to date - a skull fracture, concussion and whiplash resulting in a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and a subdural hematoma in the frontal lobe which caused possibly permanent olfactory nerve damage.

Thanks to the depth of generosity of you and this community of support I've been graced with unexpected levels of healing, which my doctors are indicating is right on track, if not faster than expected.

7 weeks after that initial trauma, I fell and broke my jaw and suffered another concussion though thank Goddess/God there was no further brain bleeding.

I'm now facing hospital bills in the tens of thousands from the ICU and two ER visits, as well as a continued need for brain/neuron repair, nerve damage repair (still no sense of taste or smell) let alone healing the nervous system from these two big traumas.

My family has encouraged me to continue opening to receive what's next, what is needed to thrive and give my body and brain what it needs to live and thrive.

Please know deeply that this experience has humbled me, gifted me with the knowing that it is only by grace that we are alive and able to serve the one shared mission we are all on as a human species... to embody this grace as best we can, moment by moment.

Thank you beyond words for your prayers, love, connection, presence and yes for "skipping that next cup of coffee" and putting the $10 here instead

Love from my heart to yours,

Amanda
