” I feel like a creature who is habituated to living in a dark cave, licking its own wounds, suddenly being met with an explosion of light. My world view, my reason for being, my goals, and my thoughts and actions, everything has changed, and I feel like a whole new person. And as I look at myself in the mirror these days, I’m met by an easy smile, a happy heart, a healed, whole, wonderfully delightful soul.”
Kamia Mirchandani
