179: 179-The Interview: Boots Knighton ~ The Meaning & Miracle in Loss
Boots had several tales to tell this week and once again, I found another human to love to pieces! BUT, before all that I want to let you know that she has her very own podcast called "The Heart Chamber" where she interviews all sorts of humans, including those who have had open heart surgery (just like Boots has!). Her tales include a harrowing account of what it took to get her to notice what her heart was trying to tell her (and honestly? listening to her story made me wince!) but also how the loss of her best friend after being murdered in Nicaragua has shifted everything that Boots believes about the Universe. Please check out her wise and powerful pod-you won't regret it! Boots was at Jackson Hole Ski Resort back in the day and was one of the first female lift operators at that august resort! But the one thing that we came back to time and again was how UNSTOPPABLE she is. From her heart attacks (read that: plural!) to her Traumatic Brain Injury, to the loss of her best friend, Boots has only kept on keeping on. She is an example of believing in the world, in the great mystery that is unfurling around all of us and believing that all is for her greater good! So I'm gonna say it! She is a great model for all of us...and if you don't believe me? Just listen to the episode! Your bit of beauty? A little bit of where I find myself this week, in Fairhope, Alabama...where the humidity is high, history is deep and the fireflies fly at night! Here's an article to discover just a bit about this little piece of the world! (be sure to check out the pictures...those are pretty too!)
