The Words I Write

I started writing because there were stories inside of me that needed to get out. Old stories, gritty stories, haunting stories. Stories I had spent years drinking into the shadows. Stories that peered up at me in fragile longing, begging to be seen and forgiven. Continue reading The Words I Write

Reading poems with my dear friend (and book illustrator) @cheryllizalive last night at The Workshop
I’m feeling this lately.
When you are uncertain, when things seem impossible, when life appears stalled—invite LOVE to take over.

I have gratitude for the words, the way they move through me with their healing hands and rub soft my spiky self-criticism.
