9K If you knew me years ago, you might have described me as someone built for endurance. I tended to lean into activities that took time and effort: graduate studies, yoga training, writing and long-distance running races. It was the rhythm I lived by – steady, persistent and comfortable in the spaces where patience and heart mattered most. Along my journey, I lost my mom, and then my dad and while I thought I would break, I learned to keep loving, striving and trusting.
