My Progress in Photos

Whenever I start to feel discouraged with how slow this process feels, I look at this page and spend a moment thinking about how far I've come. This path has been a thousand tiny steps over the course of years. It has taken hard work and commitment that I honestly didn't believe I was capable of when the doctor warned me about how close I was to developing diabetes. Through this journey I've discovered that I'm not who I think I am. As layers of myself peel away and old baggage and ways of being evaporate into nothingness, what is left is a truer essence of my own self.
