Maria Teresa lives in the United States. Maria Teresa tells us about sitting on a comma with forcing herself into a life that fundamentally did not fit. After reaching the depths of hopelessness and coming face to face with taking her own life, she found recovery and respite in letting go and acceptance. Maria Teresa allowed acceptance to lead her into a path of experimentation, exploration and discovery of her true nature, talents and purpose.
