From Tajci's Blog:
I used to always fall apart on Thanksgiving Day. I felt overwhelming gratitude, but also an inability to truly accept the grace and love it brought to me.

As an immigrant, I was grateful for every open heart that showed me kindness and welcomed me into their home - both physically in sharing the resources and opportunities of their country and in offering me a seat at their table, and spiritually in inviting me into their hearts, our shared home where Love is the host. As a traveler and a seeker, I was grateful for the bumps, high peaks and low valleys of the road I’d been on.

But for a long time, along with the gratitude, I carried regret, guilt and self-judgment, not willing to leave it behind.

A move to Nashville, Tennessee came as the perfect external shift to trigger an internal one, and the opportunity to try to let go of some of that baggage.

Only a few months after the move, a friend invited me to the meditation circle at Thistle Farms, a community for women who have survived sex trafficking, abuse, addiction and prostitution founded by Reverend Becca Stevens.
