"I had never experienced vulnerability in the way that I did the day of my surgery...I remember walking into the operating room. I thought of the thousands of people that must have been there before me....I wondered if they were as desperate as me, as desperate to feel joy within their bodies..." chilling excerpt from the deeply moving, "A Memoir of Teenage Disability", by (pictured here) Rachael Hanakowski in the Shelborne County Anthology, "Salt and Wind". 👏 What an honor to have the opportunity, through my passion project Chakra Intimates, to meet beautiful souls such as her. 💛 Look out for this amazing Goddess @rachael.annalisa as she continues to write and share her inspiring story of finding gratitude despite the challenges of living with #cerebralpalsy. 🙌 Thank you Rachael for the honest and raw insight into your world and the beautiful pic wearing your Unity Tank. 🙏#womenempowerwomen #inspiringwoman #inspiringwriter #naturenymph #womenwithspecialabilites #chakraintimates (at Nova Scotia Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFng_n5nvde/?igshid=lcfvy3llsszk
