Life After Loss
In the serene town of Davenport, California, 73-year-old Patti Cavelli exemplifies resilience and positivity. Despite experiencing profound losses, including the death of three children and her husband of 40 years, she has found ways to embrace joy and live fully.
Patti’s life took a transformative turn with the arrival of Blue, her energetic Blue Heeler. Faced with the challenge of keeping up with a dog that needs to run 35 miles a day, Patti discovered a new sense of freedom through a Vika+, introduced to her by a neighbor. Her first ride was liberating, marking the beginning of a new chapter. Now, she and Blue are a familiar sight on country roads, embodying companionship and joy.
A Path Forward
Her Vika+ reignited Patti’s passion for life. "Today might be the only day I have," she reflects, urging others to live in the moment and be authentic. Her outlook is a reminder that happiness comes from within, and each moment is an opportunity to feel connected and free.
A Prayer For All
Patti’s story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to find light amidst darkness. Her prayer for others, "Pray the ray of light and love be upon that person," captures her empathy and understanding. Through her journey, Patti inspires us to seek joy, embrace new adventures, and cherish each day with a heart full of love and gratitude.
