Life happens, we react, respond, and then tell stories about it in an effort to make sense of trauma. Sometimes we are heroes and sometimes victims. This is the first and last time I will tell this story, on the 21st anniversary and what has been my reality for what is now half of my life. I cherish this journey, and yet I now let it go. How you respond to trauma determines the rest of your life, and we all experience it in one way or another. I found it young, and when you meet the health or life challenges that call for you to grow, change, or die, I hope this story inspires you to make changes that empower you.

Have you heard of “Conversations with God”? This book is about “Conversations with the Earth”. Mary McNerney earned her law degree from Georgetown University, had a fellowship with the UN Commission on International Trade Law, and then worked for many years as a corporate and international lawyer in Boston and Prague. It was not her plan to write this book. She never imagined that the Spirit of the Earth would one day unmistakably, clearly, and shockingly speak to her. Mary says that the experience has put her on an entirely different trajectory than she ever envisioned as a corporate lawyer. She shares “In a wild and wonderful way I instead became a messenger on behalf of our planet Earth.” Mary now lives in Massachusetts together with her husband and horses. She enjoys riding her horse through the woods and fields and being more deeply with the many dimensions of nature.
