From Renata:
I'm finishing a book that talks about the ultimate key to happiness. I'm understanding it to be the practice of allowing all emotions (not just the ones we label as good) and vibrations to move through us, savor them all as part of our "life buffet" of experiences, and be thankful for everything, including what creates discomfort, pain, joy or exhilaration.
It's cloudy and it's snowing today here in Summit County, and I am very emotional to say goodbye to you. I'm telling myself that this is all good, and despite the hardship that we tend to attach to endings, I'm trying to just feel it, and be thankful for it. Because life has been generous to me and allowed me to meet you all, share our lives, wisdom, the gift of healing, some good laughs, lots of tears, and I have seen what my little sparkle of light, that once I thought was insignificant, can do for a community. Thank you so much for this!
From Jill:
It is with sincerity, gratitude, sadness, and hope that I write this emotional farewell. I want to start with a big, heartfelt “Thank You” to every person that came to see me during my time at Rise and has helped me learn more about this profession and myself; I am beyond grateful for the trust placed in me to care for your physical, mental, and spiritual health. From the beginning of my time at Rise, so many of you embraced me wholeheartedly. You made me feel like family and not just someone who was treating your ailments. Your referrals reinforced, to me, how you felt about my care and pushed me to be a better healer and practitioner with every satisfied smile and sigh of relief. I have tried to extend my work in Denver for as long as I could sustain, physically and emotionally, and now my time has ended. You have blessed me with countless relationships from this time with you all at Rise. I once heard “We do not ever say Goodbye, just see you later” so I say to you: Farewell; I will see you later. I know that for many of us, our paths will cross again; I feel this in my heart of hearts. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me; I will only be a short drive south from Denver. Thank you, again, for everything. With all my love,
