We learn from each other's stories. Terces breaks her heart wide open pouring out the wisdom she's learned through her 35-year journey of recovery from twenty years of addiction (an eating disorder) to gratitude as a way of being, a place you come from not get to. This show inspires, encourages or helps us all seek a deeper meaning in our day to day life. Music by MaMuse Photography by Susan LeStrange Graphics and design by Jon Marro engelhart.substack.com
