And she had to let go of the life she knew to do it.In Pain Is a Portal to Beauty, Alexis shares the raw, deeply personal story of navigating her heartbreaking divorce, the unresolved grief of losing her mother, her use of psychedelics as a path to healing, and her quest to find new love.As she began to embrace her pain, Alexis was stunned to discover miracle after miracle.

  pa•tient /ˈpeɪ.ʃənt/ 
  noun 
  a person who is under medical care or treatment. 
  adjective 
  bearing provocation, annoyance, misfortune, delay, hardship, pain, etc., with fortitude and calm and without complaint, anger, or the like. 
    
  Two months after several positive Covid tests, Akshay Rao finds himself in the Emergency Room, having been diagnosed with acute renal failure. This, despite donning N95 masks indoors and out, living life as a hermit, and getting vaccinated and boosted at the first available opportunity. 
  What follows is a delightful, charming, quirky, irreverent and sometimes poignant romp through the travails of being hospitalized for a week, featuring specialist doctors, nurses, hospital staff, and the Rao children valiantly attempting to hide their concern. And, we travel through space and time, with stories of “rerouting” a commercial airliner in India, a close encounter with an orangutan in Malaysian Borneo, an anecdote about little Rao children contemplating their father’s mortality, and an apparition’s role in the birth of a grandfather. 
  The core message is one of hope and acceptance, and the recognition that all is impermanent, so it is incumbent on us to be compassionate. When somebody cuts you off on the highway, imagine they are driving to the ER with a case of acute renal failure, and give them the right of way.

  Lucky Lindy and Lady Lindy

  In many ways, Charles Lindbergh represented the best and worst of America during the first half of the 20th century. Lindbergh became famous for being an aviation pioneer whose solo flight across the Atlantic captured the imagination of an entire world, yet he was an isolationist who wanted to keep American freedoms safe for Americans and no one else. Lindbergh was the quintessential family man, yet he fathered illegitimate children and suffered an unspeakable tragedy that became known as “The Crime of the Century.” Lindbergh embodied some of his era’s greatest virtues and harbored some of its worst prejudices.  
  Lindbergh was a 25 year old U.S. Air Mail pilot who was probably best known for two crashes before shooting to fame with his non-stop flight across the Atlantic from New York City to Paris on May 20-21, 1927. Lindbergh was Time Magazine’s first Man of the Year in 1927, and he used his newfound fame to promote the development of commercial flight and become a spokesman and symbol for advances in aviation.  
  In 1928, Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, but she was disappointed that she had to do so as a passenger, complaining, “I was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes.” But by the mid-1930s, Earhart had set a multitude of altitude and distance records, but she wanted to attempt a circumnavigation of the world. After an ill-fated first attempt, Earhart and Fred Noonan set off on another attempt, creating one of the 20th century’s most enduring mysteries. Earhart and Noonan were to land on Howland Island, 1700 miles southwest of Hawaii, but radio transmissions ceased between the plane and authorities on the ground the morning of July 2, 1937. Earhart and Noonan had disappeared, never to be seen again, despite one of the nation’s largest and costliest manhunts to date.  
  The speculation over exactly what happened to Earhart and the mystery of her disappearance remain.
