“I didn’t know myself beyond the identit identity I created to survive.” Wow GG. Powerful prose. I resonate. Helpful guidance for all of us survivors out here 🩷❤️🩷
Wow, this is inspiring. I’ve been blogging almost as long, but my center of my why has been off track lately. I’m in the DMV as well and I will definitely look into your clases and I also appreciate those editor rejections. I need to shop a book and I’m scared.
Sending encouragement your way, sis! It is nerve-wracking, I know, but putting yourself out there helps you grow. And that's why it's worth it to do the discovery on the Why part because it helps you focus on that instead of the discomfort of it all. It's like, the fulfillment of aligning with your Why overrides the discomfort.
This post is what led me to finally saying, we will start small one step at a time. Hoping being here will truly help me to connect to the writer that screaming to be set free. Hopefully it will help me find my voice. And courage. I wanted so badly to join the Creative writing intensive but it felt overwhelming for this moment in life. So I’m praying by winter, I will be ready.
Yes! One step at a time. And those steps can be small and they still create momentum. Love that you are showing up for yourself and taking it gently. Being in community will help!
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m in the process of believing and committing to making a life out of my art forms and this piece is encouraging. Also — I cannot express to you how excited I am about your book!
Thank you, Diamonde! I always love to hear the stories of artists, creatives, and non-conformists. lol. Thankful for the space to share. I'm so excited about the book, too. I literally cant wait.

Thank you, Carlie! Yes, such an awakening to realize that were not defined by our difficulties. ♥
