“Out beyond ideas of right and wrong, there is a field. We will meet you there.”
This website actually started in 2016, after my first daughter Olivia passed away three days before being born when I was 37 weeks pregnant and after a perfectly healthy pregnancy and she was also a perfectly healthy baby. Sharing my story not only kept me sane and saved me in more ways than one, but it has also saved babies lives around the world and many strangers have felt hope and love from the kindness acts that we do to honour Olivia’s life.
I have said many times that the thing I am most proud of in my life is the fact that I kept living after Olivia didn’t. Not only that, I have intentionally lived a wonderful, complicated, epic life because I need to do it for both of us. Changing what this website has always been is part of that life. All the content I have written since we went live will always be here and I will continue to raise awareness and spread love to everyone willing to take it. You can find it on the “I Hope It Helps” drop down. At the same time, the time has finally come when I am ready to share my gift of inspiration, motivation and change with a broader audience. So here we are, a website about how we can thrive in the unknown without the need of silver linings both in our personal and professional lives.
If you are here because you are going through the worst moment in your life, I am hugging you and sending you so much love. I know it might not feel that way right now, but you can do this. It’s unfair and you shouldn’t have to go through this and I still know you will. Be gentle with yourself, take all the time you need, remind yourself that no process is linear and that you will leave nothing and nobody behind, they will come with you and your life will grow with them.
