this past saturday was the one year anniversery of my friend jamie's death. she was one of the first people i met when i came to goucher, we lived on the same hall, and only a handful of us knew she had cancer. it was as if one day she was here and the next, gone.

everyone copes with traumatic events differently. i chose to reflect at my own life and make positive changes. the catalyst at my core for the way i live my life, it was my relationship with jamie and is my relationship with her after her death. i admire her for her decisions to live her life. if we fear death, we don't live. she lived. the impact this experience had on me was truly tremendous, and continues to play a major role in my life.

i have done so many things in the past year with my life. i think i found the proper balance between living in the now and working on the foundation for my future. just gotta keep pushing forward even when the seas get rough.

so this show was about voice. support. living. changing.

to anyone who has ever found something positive rise from the ashes of a tragedy.
