Thank you Haley for this shout from the rooftops on behalf of a fully lived and less comfortable existence. I celebrate your commitment to keep sharing your own depths. And the way you describe your sensory experiences always puts me right in the water with you. You are uniquely gifted at doing that.

Wow this is epic and important and I’m so grateful you wrote it! Your descriptive language is beautiful “the next push of frothy white caps unexpectedly washed over my numb feet that scuffed along like cement blocks.” ❤️

Want to feel alive? Frigid ocean water. Sky can be electric blue or smoldering grey. Such a great reminder.
