ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
It truly does take a village. I have heard many people say that no one who succeeds at anything great does it alone. I affirm that with my life and my long journey to becoming a published author. I also believe that when we are up to good works and working from a benevolent place, the universe truly does conspire in our favor to support us. At no point in my life have I been without a helping hand, guidance, support or love pouring into me. Much of that support is from the unseen - my ancestors clearing the path and protecting me in all ways, transitioned loved ones leaving me clues, nature speaking to me through animal spirits, astrology and many other ways - all to remind me that I am not alone. For the human connections and inspirations, I truly have so many to thank that I ask for grace. If there is a name that was missed here, I'm certain it will come about in my next book(s) (hint hint!) so know that you are appreciated whether I name you explicitly or not. First and foremost, I want to thank my adversaries for activating me in ways I could not have done on my own. You reflected back to me exactly what I needed to see about myself and from a healed place, I thank you for it.
