It's been said that life provides us with exactly what we need when we are ready to receive it. When I gave up my job, apartment and most of my possessions, then drove 2,000 miles across country to Taos, N.M., I thought it was to start a new life. However, the journey took me deep into my past where I was able to see the events and choices I had made, that gave birth to the person I am today.
