Reading her story, with compassion and tears of connection... whilst cranking the classic 80s White Snake, Here I Go Again...

Thanks for that!

That 'getting-out-of-Canada PTSD' feeling is a real thing... and can still give me chills... Remembering landing in Mexico with that sense of "I did it, holy S--t!". Shortly after a 'refugee" from Argentinian reminded me that I still had my backpack and bank accounts... I should consider myself lucky. And this day, I do.

As crazy as that feels, being Canadian.

It's tricky; that sense of deep loss beside the sense of appreciation for everything that has come because of that loss.

I can totally relate to that—the feeling of “wow, we escaped, amazing! Now what?!” And the pain of loss that goes along with the joy of what we’ve gained…❤️‍🔥

Wow, what a story!! Truth is stranger than fiction. I don't believe in coincidences either..

God is good.

Yes, such an incredible perspective of escape from tyranny to freedom...& God's provision.
