Healing Takes Time
I need to get out of my head and into my body.
My body is a minefield, what will I find there, and do I really want to know?

Following My Passion
Writing has been my passion my whole life, but I confined it to my journal and hid it. I thought that if I told my truth that people would judge and reject me. But as I reached midlife and my daughter was getting ready to head off to college, I came to a crossroads that I felt like if I didn't speak up that I was going to sink into a depression.
On January 1st, 2018 I clicked the publish button on my first blog post. In an attempt to follow a calling I didn't quite understand yet, I made a commitment to write a post a week no matter what. This was a commitment to my writing, but also I commitment to myself.
Like minded women found my blog and began commenting and reaching out to me. They told me that I inspired them by being vulnerable and honest about my abusive past, and my present struggles.
Their support gave me the courage to not only keep writing, but to be even more vulnerable and brave in my writing.
This led me to start posting my art on Instagram, and eventually sell it.
Before I started this creative journey I was lost, depressed, and unmotivated. Now, I am energized and excited about the future.
I am so grateful that I had the courage to take that first step.
