In Surgery
Millie is in surgery right now. She got her head shaved and the halo put on, then she went for an MRI and then off to surgery. Sheri says she was calm and ready. If there are any more updates, I will post them here. The surgery is expected to go until 1:00pm. Love to all and thanks for the prayers.

MIllie's Adventure With Dystonia
A little about Millie: After many years of self-rejection and shame, Millie reached what she believed was the end with no other option other than to end her life. Little did she know that this would be the beginning of her journey in discovering a life of love, peace and joy. She was introduced to The Four Agreements® by don Miguel Ruiz and began mentoring with Dr. Sheri Rosenthal, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Toltec Wisdom and Banish Mind Spam!
She has spent over 5 years breaking the beliefs that were holding her prisoner to pain and began experiencing acceptance and unconditional love. Growing up with physical challenges, Millie loves the opportunity to share with others in looking beyond any perceived limitations to see their true beauty and ultimate expression. She also enjoys sharing in Spanish and looking at all the beliefs that might have be holding you back from experiencing your personal freedom.
For those of you who do not know - Millie has a genetic condition called Dystonia - two years ago it became generalized in her body causing severe pain and multiple disabilities. Yet using the tools she's gained from her Toltec path she's confronted her fear in the face of adversity. Millie is scheduled for brain surgery in September and we are collecting donations for the cost of the surgery. This deep brain stimulation surgery has been a God-send for people with Dystonia and Millie is looking forward to being able to function again.
