And I can hear that and fully understand...

I was just hoping that maybe some of the folks with whom I've been engaging authentically and with whom there was a beautiful reciprocal emotional support (especially those who feel deeply and are connected to their intuition) even when we are not consistently in each other lives would...

There were some from Medium for whom I'm super grateful. The sad truth is that I suck in documenting... I have doing everything by myself... No backup whatsoever even when I got too sick for the first time in 4 years (following my rebirth)...

I could barely walk and I still managed to cook for the doggies (who wouldn't eat kibbles) while I merely drank water till a neighbor visited in the evening...

That is, even if I remembered taking pictures or videos, I wouldn't be able to execute... There were emergencies all the time and I only had 24 hours a day for working and volunteering... I haven't had a single resting day for 2 years.

I relocated to Canada because I realizated I was literally sinking (almost 20K of debts) and I was anything but effective.

I wanted to create an opportunity for my sanctuary dream project to see the light in the mid-term, something that I would have never been able to do in Tunisia.

I immigrated and am yet to find a job. It has been extremely challenging even for the paperwork in the province where I am and which I didn't even choose.

I could be anywhere but I wasn't able to find another house since no one wanted to accept me with my 3 indoor kiddos... I had to pay for an aibnb and another flight... I do what I can but I can't do it alone and I could use some very needed and precious help!
