Appreciation Blog

Okay, the day before I leave and I can’t think of a better way to reflect on my journey to wellness: An appreciation blog.

Dad… AKA KLESCH! Thank you for being there for me even though some days have been totally rough. 😬 Through the dark days of depression and anxiety and feeling like absolute 💩! I truly feel the dark clouds clearing and the future is bright. ☁️ Thank you for trusting in my research when I said I wanted to hop on a plane and head down to Mexico to get Stem Cells! 🤩🤣 Love you!

Sunny bunny! You came into my life mid pandemic and have cuddled with me when I was feeling pretty crummy! I can’t wait to play fetch and take you on some well deserved long walks! 🐾 💚

To my wonderful friends and family! The ones who stood beside me even when they didn’t quite understand what I’ve been going through! I love you dearly! 🥰 (we need new pics!!)

To my boss at my job! Thank you for your endless support! Lookout.. the return will be epic! 🤣💚

To my Naturopathic Dr (who probably won’t see this) for understanding my chronic illness and making feel understood! 💚 EBV and Long Covid are no joke! Here’s an article of some research taking place at the University of Arizona ❤️ 💙

To the donors who I will never get to meet, but are the real heroes! If I could hug you… I would! To the Drs and Scientists studying how Stem Cells is the ultimate healing … you are outstanding humans! 💪🏼💫

To this wonderful hotel in Lake Chapala, Mexico! I met the most caring and loving people both the staff and future expats staying at the hotel as well. While we didn’t get pictures together (future expats and newly expats) I can’t wait to follow along in your journey of retirement in Lake Chapala! They were so supportive in my healing journey! 💚 The staff at this hotel-La Casona Chapala feels like familia! They even joined me for breakfast on my last day. Tears are coming! So healing! 😭

To the small lake town in Lake Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico! I never knew I needed you. The slow pace, the kindness of the locals, the restaurants, the constant festivities (ha!), the taxis…. It was all apart of the journey!

To my wonderful new healing and lifelong friends -Wes, Rene and Heidi!!!! Kandi, who I somehow found on a support group and allowed me to watch her journey over the last several months. I could not have done this journey without all of you! I arrived in Chapala dazed and confused (with a large dose of brain fog) and having all of you as my support system when I felt a bit overwhelmed, was such a significant part of my healing process! I love you! 💚🌺🌸😭🥰

To Elizabethlyn and Jeff… you are so incredibly special. There are no words. I am forever grateful that you had the time to listen to me as I shared my journey. You are changing the world of health. I can’t wait to watch as all of your hard work just absolutely blows up! I love you both so much! When you’re in Phoenix… I would love to be apart of it all! I see your vision! Stay tuned people.. these two are changing the world! 🌎💚

To all of you who have taken time out of your life to read my blog. I have felt your love and support!! You are all gems! 💎💚

Finally…to myself! I am learning that self love is the most important! I find it easy to love on others and so taking this time to love on myself has been very life changing. Healing is a process and of course it doesn’t end here simply because I’m feeling really freaking healthy right now. It’s an ongoing process. I will utilize this journey to know that I have the tools to love on myself and make ME a priority! This will help me as I look forward to helping others in their own journey to wellness! We are in this together. 💚💃

Okay… lots of love. I appreciate all of you. I will post a blog update in a month or so as my goal is to be transparent in the healing process from these beautiful “stemmies!” That’s a wrap.

Eat. Meditate. HEALth. 💚💃🥑🌺🌎🥰
