Imagine a bug burrowing its way into your skin, leaving behind parasites to feast on your flesh. This isn’t the plot to some horror movie. It was one woman’s lived nightmare.

This book is an honest, raw, and uncensored account of Juli’s journey through Leishmaniasis, a journey that led to a deeper understanding of what it means to be alive, to be human. Nothing is off limits as she steps into utter vulnerability and shares the inner workings of her heart and mind, and the gruesome reality of physical healing during a most challenging time.

The accompanying deck of cards is an opportunity for you to engage more mindfully in your journey and can be used as a means for inspiration by drawing a card to anchor a thought or concept for the day or week. Please use them in whichever way feels appropriate for you. No rules. No guidelines. Simply loving support to see you through.
