Close your eyes. Imagine a bug burrowing its way into your skin, leaving behind parasites to feast on your flesh. Bugs of bugs, invading your body, taking over your life. This isn't the plot to some horror movie. It was one woman's lived nightmare. This is an honest, raw, and uncensored account of Juli's journey through Leishmaniasis, a journey that led to a deeper understanding of what it means to be alive, to be human. What started out as personal journal entires quickly became a gateway to healing body, mind and spirit. Nothing is off limits as she steps into utter vulnerability and shares the inner workings of her heart and mind, and the gruesome reality of physical healing during a most challenging time. This is a story of self-discovery and transformation, of over-coming fears, of hope, of love and ultimately finding the well in wellness.
