Chasing After Rainbows

For almost 4 decades, I have worked with people who are having the worst days of their lives. Crisis work ain’t no joke. Everyone has a breaking point. But the flip side of that coin? Many of us need to break to be great. I personally will never forget all the trauma that I have endured. But I refuse to wear it like a badge of honor. I only share it, to show that anything can be overcome.

Never be so busy fighting the storm, that you lose sight of the rainbow. I will forever chase them. On the worse day of my life, my daughter passed away. I had every excuse to fold and become cold. Instead, I used that day to reinvest in my life’s work. To become better, more compassionate and grounded in peace. I take nothing for granted.

Storms are going to come. You’re going to get wet and it’s going to suck. Chase the rainbow anyways. It removes the string. Yes, storms have power. But so do you. It’s never easy.
