Brooke,I am returning home after 3 weeks with my 85 year old mother. I went to my hometown as I knew my father waa in his last days. I stayed in my parents home. I was constantly surroinded by family and extended family and acquaintances. Evryehere I turned, I met a momory.

My father passed. It was an emotional time, and especailly for my mother. I cannot tell you how much my 7 months in Scholars supported me in this time. I did not recognize myaelf and my thinking. People, circumstances, former triggers—NOTHING got to me. I was designing my thoughts and it was almost as if i observed myself and my actions from outside of myself. It was powerful and impactful beyomd words. This was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.

Thank you for this work you have created, Brooke. Keep it coming. I am all in!
