February will be my 2 year mark since having gone through my 1 week resident initiation at Boulder Crest Retreat. Two years have gone by pretty fast and a LOT has happened. Like I've stated before, probably the best takeaway and the foundation for "change" is that I became more intimate with "choice". My favorite …
Ah, yes. The infamous words from the game we all played growing up, "Hide and Seek". When we heard those words shouted across the playing area, our stomachs dropped.
