When All Else Fails: A Chronic Illness Journey: Lyme Disease and Coinfections

by Raven Wright

Being in the midst of a chronic illness can be extremely difficult. Raven Wright came to realize through a partial recovery and a relapse that the issue was not, in fact, physical. Or it was not only physical. She came to recognize that patterns of past trauma and abuse were also in need of healing. It became clear that the magnitude of the physical pain and duress that she was in, was in fact equal to the amount of emotional pain that she had been carrying around for a lifetime. She finally understood that the key to physical healing for her was to heal the entire person. The journey of physical, emotional, and spiritual is what may be missing if a physical recovery isn't happening. At the time, she was hitting a wall and declining in her healing. She realized that she could not simply throw medicine at a broken heart. She had to dig deeper. There was not one aspect of life, past or present, that had not been addressed and overturned. It was crucial to her recovery. And because she turned this into an opportunity for healing, her life became more fulfilling and happy than she could have ever imagined.

About the author

Meet Raven Wright, the visionary behind Urban Nature for Kids, a Detroit-based non-profit organization with a mission to empower young minds through Earth Science education. Raven's journey began during her time at Wayne State University, where she pursued Urban Planning graduate studies and established Urban Nature for Kids five years ago.

With an academic background that includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology and a Master's in Urban Planning, Raven's expertise extends to being a Supervisor GIS analyst for the city of Detroit. Throughout her graduate school experience, her primary focus was on Geographic Information Systems.

During her teaching tenure at elementary schools (K-6) while pursuing her studies, Raven observed the disparities in Earth Science exposure among children in low-income communities and disadvantaged areas. This realization fueled her passion to create and establish Urban Nature for Kids, driven by the belief that early exposure to Earth Science career fields can positively impact children's lives.
