It’s Personal

I haven’t known what to write for a while, nor have I made the time to. We’ve had a personal situation here that I won’t write about, but sometimes life is like that.

In The Thick of It

It’s been a while since I’ve done a blog or social media post. Since we arrived back from Toronto in October it’s been a month of personal emotional and physical purging in my healing journey along with holding space for others and sending healing to people who are also in the thick of their ownContinue reading “In The Thick of It”
