New Beginnings for Living on the Fault Lines October 10, 2014 • 0 Comments There is a lot of excitement and change going on here at LOFL. This journey, which began four years ago with a giant slice of devastation, continues to evolve and change in ways I never could have imagined. I am incredibly grateful to my readers and I genuinely appreciate your support and encouragement. This week I had an article published…
What is Living on the Fault Lines? October 6, 2014 A few years ago, I began writing my book and slowly wading through the stories and experiences that led up to the dramatic discovery that most of my existence was not what I thought it was. Through this process, it became painfully apparent that I had been inhabiting an unconscious life, one where I knew very little about myself, or…
Healing Trauma and Restoring Balance After Chaos May 28, 2014 • 4 Comments There are days when I don’t want to get out of bed.

Wow the World and Just Say Yes June 26, 2013 • 2 Comments There are approximately 17,315 endangered species in the world.

How often do you say no when you really mean yes, and…
Ashes, Ashes We All Fall Down June 3, 2013 • 0 Comments In the mental fog of the first few days after my husband’s suicide, when I was filling out forms and answering questions and learning that my life was not entirely how it appeared, I had this idea in my mind that I would send the ashes to his mother.
