Thank you to the Aikido Journal and Josh Gold for this incredible opportunity! We are humbled and grateful!

Kelly Truitt and I are so honored to have our work shown for the world at https://aikidojournal.com/2019/07/15/photo-journal-anna-gallagher/ . Kelly is a gifted photographer and I am still in awe of the photoshoot that lead to this opportunity. The work is real. It can’t stop. I understand this on the most intimate level. I train daily because I have to. I will fall, mess up, get cluttered, confused, disorganized, upset, frustrated, and emotional. This work helps the transition through these emotions toward the healing process and our teachers give us the guidance to navigate it with grace and fierce love. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Aikido Journal’s work that has helped keep the community connected and informed for almost 5 decades now.

Thank you Josh Gold and keep up the great work!! We believe in you! Keep going! See you on the mat somewhere, sometime soon!

Love, Anna
