Recall three years ago when a lightning bolt shocked my body and my life? Shortly after the hit, my dear friends started a Go Fund Me campaign. The campaign was an instant sensation among friends, and I felt seen and supported in ways I had never known before. This also opened a door into my physical life that I had kept mostly closed to the public. for the first time what I had kept behind that door to keep me safe was given light for you to see.

I haven't known the means to communicate with all of you as I have been surviving. To say it's been a hard path is an understatement, and even though it's only been 3 years, it feels more like 50. When the campaign became visible on Instagram, I felt like I should dedicate that platform to keeping my patrons and people who cared about me informed and involved.

I was brand new at exposing my "wounding", brand new at verbalizing my journey as it was happening, and being truly open about the extremity of my pain.. I'm sure it felt a lot like ripping off a ripe band aid and exposing a raw wound to you as it did to me.

I felt an underlying anger at the injustice of the medical system, the injustice of what this condition was doing to my body, and wanted to advocate in whatever way I could. At times the only I way I could do this was by being completely vulnerable about my own wounds, and there have been times where there has been no option or hope along the horizon.. and you have met me in that space.

I sometimes feel shame for not having the clarity to have had clearer intention of my sharing in this journey, Clearer boundaries, and clearer service to you. I am developing those thing now, which is why I am dedicating the Caring Bridge Platform Solely to my health journey. I feel safe to share there.

I have higher intentions, clearer calls to serve you here. greater stories and moving art to share with you instead of using this to reach my friends.It is hard to call and text everyone individually as the story unfolds.

If you wonder " How's Meg Doing?,the Caring Bridge site will fill you in. It's a private site, so you have to want to be there.

I understand that this journey is long, and there will be highs and lows. There will be moments of crisis where I will need love, encouragement, and prayers more than ever. Thank you for being here . Thank you for witnessing the pain, and the joys and the miracles that happen along this path.

I hope you continue to hang out here with me, and if you are one of those who wants to keep “in the loop”, the caring bridge website.
