“Years ago when I was living in Santa Monica, CA, I came across a Reader’s Digest,” shared Michael. “As I was flipping through the magazine, I saw a quote, ‘I am not sure what Enlightenment is, but I think it has something to do with turning pain into love.’ That phrase resonated with me, and it has stuck with me ever since.”
