Library of Love: Two Years of Real Talk & Real Healing

I didn't set out to "be a writer." But somewhere along the way, I found a voice.

Maybe it's not perfectly polished prose, but it's real — shaped by 30+ years in the body-mind connection trenches and a lifetime of asking "what if?" My newsletters became an unexpected home for sharing lessons learned, stories lived, and science-backed wisdom that actually works.

Here's the thing about collections: they tell a story you didn't know you were writing. Looking back through two years of newsletters, I see patterns I couldn't recognize in the moment — threads of vulnerability, growth, and the messy beauty of figuring life out while helping others do the same.

If you've missed a few along the way (or want to revisit when you need exactly the right message), here's your roadmap through the archives.

The August That Wasn't

Notice the gap? August 2024 disappeared because life demanded I take something off my plate to focus on family and, well, being human. Turns out, saying no to newsletters was exactly what I needed to say yes to everything else. Sometimes the most important thing you write is the one you don't.

Browse when you need inspiration. Click when you're curious. Let one message land exactly when you're ready to hear it.

Because that's how the best conversations work — not when they're perfectly timed, but when they're perfectly needed.

P.s. A Note of Gratitude

None of these newsletters would exist without you - the people who read, respond, and share your own stories with me. You've been part of this journey in ways you probably don't even realize.

Your questions sparked topics I never would have explored. Your challenges reminded me that we're all figuring this out together. Your celebrations gave me permission to share my own wins. Even your silence during my rest cycles taught me that sometimes the most loving thing we can do is simply hold space.

When I write about vulnerability, it's because you've shown me yours first. When I explore difficult topics like pain and suffering, it's because you've trusted me with your experiences. When I celebrate breakthroughs, it's because you've cheered me on through mine.

This collection isn't just my story - it's ours. Thank you for being part of it, for inspiring these words, and for creating a community where real talk and real healing can happen side by side.

The conversation continues, and I'm grateful you're here for it.
