Support me in my endeavors
People have asked how they can help me - in life, in traveling, in my endeavor to educate others on the importance of empowerment. I always appreciate the desire to help!
If you're wondering why I could benefit from assistance, here are a few things to know. I've had 11 surgeries, 9 were major procedures. All of them involved a lengthy recovery period (12+ months for the spine surgeries). So, in addition to the obvious medical expenses, 9 times I was unable to work and earn full income for a period of 2 to 6 months. That places an unusual financial burden on me. Additionally, on a day-to-day basis, there are areas that I could benefit from assistance, namely housekeeping, laundry, cooking. Working a full time schedule drains most of my energy (see my blog post about pain). I rarely have enough energy on my days off to maintain my household. Help with dishes, vacuuming, and laundry would be wonderful.

There are 3 ways you can help:
- make a direct contribution through PayPal. I've created a few different PayPal Pools. They are much like a GoFundMe page without the high fee deducted - and you can contribute anonymously, if you prefer.
- Purchase and send a gift certificate from a business (send to: giving @ theempoweredtraveler com).
- Click on one of my referral or affiliate links so I'll earn credit.

SPINAL FUSION SURGERY 2019
I had another surgery on April 19, 2019. This one was to correct severe spinal stenosis of my thoracic spine. I spent 3 long nights (could not sleep) in the ICU, 3 nights in a regular room, and then 10 days in a skilled nursing facility.

Around the World 2020
I always dream BIG!
I hope to travel completely around the globe, taking 3 to 4 weeks to do so. I will use up nearly all my vacation days for the year, but imagine the places we'll see and the memories to be made!
