— CASSANDRA C.

Thank you all for the beautiful experience. The two ceremonies I have gone to have changed my life for the better. In a world where career and material wealth seem to be valued more than anything, I have found the strength to laugh at that folly and lead myself down another path. I have no idea what will happen next and I am glad.

I have been absolutely terrified of driving on the freeway ever since I was in an accident when I was 18. I didn't do it at all for many years and eventually had to hire a driving instructor this year to try and get my confidence back. I was still avoiding it at all costs though. The day after we got back from our last journey I had to go somewhere and no one could drive me so I took a risk and drove myself. For the first time in 7 years I wasn't scared going more than 45mph. I just focused on what I was doing and it felt fine. So now I am free to drive myself anywhere I need to go.
