Qi

Vital energy

"Qi" (chee) is the underlying principle of traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts.

Believers in qi describe it as a vital force or just simply as energy. They believe this energy is imperative for optimal health.

The part I find most interesting about qi is that this cultivated energy is at its strongest when one steps fully into their power and works straight from their truest form.

I don't know about you, but when someone is producing and creating from a place of authenticity-you can feel it.

It's electric.

It's palpable.

It's potent.

It's life-changing.

Often times you can't even explain what it is that you feel.

You just know there's a certain something that creates a spark, energizes you, inspires you, and pushes you to do more by simply being in close proximity to them.

To me, this is what a true leader looks like.

Melissa Vargo, you're a leader.

I am honored that you chose me to document this part of your journey. I've loved getting to know you.

Your qi is so damn strong.

The energy you possess is unworldly.

Your desire to create change, your passion, and your creativity are all awe-inspiring.

But what I love most of all is your abundant mindset and your determination to help others above all else.
