Over the next few weeks, I’ll be reintroducing Indigo Cruz Wellness.
Not exactly starting over. More like bringing into focus something that has been growing and taking shape for a long time.
In 2026, our work expanded into Indigo Words Publishing, giving us a new way to explore faith, trauma, grace, and the human experience through storytelling.
At the same time, our wellness content has become more focused.
We’re turning our attention toward something public health calls the social determinants of health.
It’s a rather clinical phrase for something deeply human.
The conditions in which people live, learn, work, grow, and age have a profound impact on their health. The condition of their homes. The quality of their education. Their access to nutritious food, meaningful relationships, community, healthcare, and opportunities to flourish.
Health isn’t simply about what happens inside our bodies. It’s also about what happens around us, and what happens to us.
And somewhere along the way, we’ve stumbled upon another part of our calling.
Becoming a voice for life.
In particular, we’re entering the difficult and necessary conversation surrounding Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID).
Today’s slides share some of the data coming out of Canada. The numbers are worth understanding, but so are the questions they leave unanswered.
What happens when suffering becomes unbearable? When healthcare is inaccessible? When poverty, disability, loneliness, or inadequate support shape the choices available to a person?
How do we protect human dignity, informed consent, and the freedom to make deeply personal decisions while making sure people have meaningful opportunities to receive care and support?
These aren’t simple questions. And I don’t intend to treat them as though they are.
But I do believe they are worth asking.
Because at the heart of Indigo Cruz is something that hasn’t changed: our spiritual and physical lives are profoundly connected.
How we care for the body matters. How we nurture the spirit matters. And how we care for one another matters.
You’ll see some changes to our look, our language, and our content in the coming weeks. But I hope you’ll recognize the heart behind it all.
We’re still growing, learning, and finding our way.
And perhaps more than ever, we’re convinced that life, even in its suffering and uncertainty, is worthy of our attention, compassion, and care.
Life. it’s worth Living.
it’s a Spirit thing.
