Suicide Support: A Letter to Healing Souls October 27, 2014 • 0 Comments Dear Gorgeous Healing Soul: You possess extraordinary innate healing capacities.

The Importance of Wayfinding After Losing a Loved One October 17, 2014 • 0 Comments I have mentioned I am working on a book and as I get deeper into the process of editing and writing, and more writing then editing, I continue to be intrigued by how much one can learn about themselves when putting pen to paper. I still have many pages to journey through before arriving at the threshold of a published book,…
