Rocking Horse Ranch Trip

Working with Tighed Together I realized that it is okay to still not know how the pieces of myself and my life fit together after it was shattered by cancer. I am motivated to continue to learn and understand how these new and missing pieces of myself come together to make up the survivor I am today and who I will become.
