Cast it Out

Every hair on the back of Dove’s neck stood, and a chill moved through her. A voice somewhere in the back of her mind whispered to her, urging her to do something.

“Thank you love,” Dove replied softly, head turning to follow the woman as she reached the sink. “Are you. . . doing ok?” The woman met Dove’s gaze in the mirror, the look in her eyes entirely blank for a moment. As Dove watched her, the light above her flickered again - buzzing. The shadows played against her features, and those honey-hued eyes flashed black with malice.

The Lady Calls

"Would you like to reclaim him?" The Lady's voice was something familiar and alien all at once; Niamah felt it sink into her bones and rest there, humming within her. It took a moment for the woman to register just what the Timeless One was suggesting. When realization dawned on her, Niamah could only nod.

“It won’t be easy, child.” The Lady peered down at her, something close to curiosity alight in her endless eyes.

Niamah did not hesitate in her reply; “I don’t care.”

My mom tells me this story about the very instant she realized she was in love with my dad.

It wasn’t a grand gesture made on his part - but a small, fleeting moment not intended for her at all. She and dad had been dating for a while and this particular date fell on a weekend that mom got with my older siblings, Nick and Jessie. It was a warm summer day in Conifer Colorado; I like to think the breeze was cool and the sun was high. I can imagine that the air was crisp; maybe it rained that morning, and the mountains still felt renewed. Maybe the clouds were still hanging a little low where the mountains reached up high.

A Broken Pot Still Holds Hope

One winter night in 2000, Kara was involved in a terrible car accident and airlifted to a hospital. Faced with a long and difficult recovery but determined to live the life she’d planned, she worked through the pain caused by the accident for years, without complaint. However, everything shifted drastically again in 2015, when new symptoms surfaced. Even as her pain became unbearable, her primary care physician brushed off her concerns and disregarded her experience. Ultimately, she needed to find a team that would truly listen to and help her — and accept that she needed help. Kara’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion and self-advocacy have in healthcare.
