I am first, and my proudest moments in life are, all around being a mother! I am so very grateful to have three amazing daughters who are living in a world of empowerment, authenticity, and an understanding of kindness and inclusion. They are my everything and my drive in this amazing world we have been given.
By being a writer, creative artist, and spiritual friend, I have had the privilege to be given the amazing opportunity to be a promoter of the strength of kindness, authenticity, and the beautiful strength that comes with loving ourselves. Growing up in a large family and on a small farm, I was often drawn to books and stories as a way of finding solitude and adventure. My younger years were filled with running barefoot through the farm, building forts, mud castles, riding horses, feeding chickens, geese, and sheep, working in gardens, and climbing a beautiful mulberry tree that stained our hands and feet purple. It was picturesque on the outside and governed by the strict rules of religion, echoed by the chaos life brings. Life was never easy, but adventure was always around the corner. As an adult life took over and shadows governed the structure of my life. I believe there are profound moments in each of our lives that guide us as a river ever flowing and changing course as we learn and love. You will find hidden gems of my memories through the symbolic meanings behind butterflies, berries, and the curiosity that leads us to seeing the beauty of this wild world around us. I believe that in all things we must take a look at the big picture, but we must focus on the next step, the one that is right in front of us. And to tomorrow, I say, “I eagerly await you and am ready to take the next step!” As above, so below. As below, What we heal in darkness we grow in the light! My first book, In Dreams the Soul Cries: A River of Tears is scheduled to come out at the beginning of July. As soon as I have the finalized cover and information for the book I will send it to you as well. |
Book to be Published
IN DREAMS THE SOUL CRIES: A RIVER OF TEARS
In Dreams the Soul Cries: A River of Tears is my personal journey through darkness. As you read this book, you will find that as my nightmares mixed with my dreams and my reality, I took the steps to learn valuable tools in therapy and mediation, and I began my healing process through these experiences of my soul and with others. May you find not only courage and strength along your journey for each and every needed step, but may you also find the compassion and love for yourself that you give so freely to others. You are worth it all.
