My Comeback!

I arrived in California a year ago today.

I got here ready to eat up the cities, ready to start a film, to continue training and to do a triathlon. The plan was to work some and get set up here, and then to go back to Florida and do a talk, workout with my trainers, and to take a break and lay on the beach.

And then….I couldn’t walk down the street. Or to the next room for that matter. My back had been hurting somewhat before I left Fl, but this was different. I couldn’t eat because the surrounding muscles and nerves pulled my esophagus. I had to turn my head a certain way to speak. I lost 15 lbs. I couldn’t drive the car I had just bought because I couldn’t raise my arms. And as it went on and on, and on, it made my death experience feel like the common cold.

The MRI showed herniated discs, spinal stenosis etc. etc. Spine specialists…..recommendations for immediate surgery…..I thought I’d heal it myself. And it’s taken a lot longer than healing from dying did. (Or not? It is an injury that was there pre-death and exacerbated in the death event.)  

I’m almost fully recovered.

I didn’t talk to anyone. I didn’t say a proper goodbye to so many people that I care about because I thought I was coming back. And I am SO GRATEFUL to be able to reconnect with you all again!!!

In the midst of all of this I have managed to have some fabulous experiences (wouldn’t be me otherwise right?) I met some amazing people.

I got married!

I’m working with people who share my same theory and vision. I’m ready to start the film, with completely different content. I’m finishing off my book, and I am going to do my first talk in over a year, in San Francisco. Rather than the hard core training I was doing, my rad new husband surprised me with a pilates studio in our home, complete with a reformer machine.

Everything is different, including this site, and there’s much to come, but for the next few days-Hello Again!
