Initially, I was hesitant to fundraise for my trip because I didn’t feel I was worthy of that type of support. But Terri (A Fresh Chapter’s Founder) convinced me that it was part of my journey and that it was a way to be fully present in the Odyssey experience. Admitting that I was hurting and in need of a change was huge for me. To my surprise, my honesty was greeted with overwhelming support, kind words and love that literally knocked me off my feet! Through this experience, I learned that it was safe to share, to admit weakness, and as a result, I have already begun the healing process. Basically, I learned that it was okay to remove the mask — Wanda, Peru 2016 |
