¡El Día Final!

Today is our last day in Austin, TX. While I am thankful for all this city and this country has given me, I am truly happy to be moving beyond it's borders. The last year and a half has taken me on a difficult and heart-wrenching journey. Hard work with the love & support of Jack - he'll be 'Diego' en Mexico :) - has strengthened and prepared my body for our travels. 

Physically, I have progressed quite a bit from the girl who couldn't even move around in bed or sit up on her own a year ago. It's my brain, namely the cerebellum, that still needs major healing, and my central nervous system needs regeneration. It's like my logic board needs repair ;) As a former Apple employee, I am used to troubleshooting and resolving technical issues. If only the human brain could simply be rebooted :))

The silver lining of my personal tragedy is that it has paved the way for us to do what we have always wanted- move south to a land where we are surrounded by lush nature, loving people, and fresh, sweet fruits. The pain and suffering I have endured has also brought me closer to becoming a more gentle, selfless, loving, and spiritually attuned woman.

I am hopeful and determined to make a full recovery. I believe this new environment we are moving to will provide the elements I need to heal. I am excited to begin this new chapter in my life.

Stay tuned! I plan on sharing my travel stories once we get settled and have internet.

¡Adiós para ahora!
