And it was like in that moment, the best way to describe it, Heather, is like I recognized everything that I've done
And then everything that I still didn't have.
And at that moment, I was driving by this building and I thought, what am I going to do with this building?
Like, this has been sitting here for a year.
I got to do something with it.
And it was like a voice like we're talking said, put your animal shelter there.
And I was like, I never wanted to open an animal shelter.
I never wanted to have a nonprofit.
Like those weren't things that were ever a conscious decision for me.
And, but I did, it was like a gut, it was like a gut check.
And it was something that I immediately did.
And of course, cause everything else I figured out, like, why can't I figure this out too?
So figured out how to start a 501c3 and, you know, turn that building into a kennel and everything that we needed it to be to, to house animals.
And it was through that, um,
It's interesting.
I built a nonprofit to save animals, but in the process, they saved me.
I didn't realize that throughout life, because I felt so alone, that I turned to animals to heal.
my dog that I would see, you know, the rabbits or cats that I would save and want to bring every stray animal home.
And so I look back and think, if I didn't have all of that happen to me, I wouldn't have the heart that I have now to help end suffering and to not want to see other people go through it.
And so it was really through a very unconventional way that I truly healed.
