One of my favorite writers and healers Alex Elle (check her out) says, “I show up on the page so I can see myself.” I’ve wanted to create this for many years but never sat down to actually do it. I wasn’t clear about my intention for the site. Then, on a writing retreat, I heard Alex say those words and it clicked.
I bring myself to my work, inviting others to walk with me in exploration and excavation. I believe I cannot ask anyone to do what I do not also attempt myself. This site is representative of this and a playground for anyone interested. I intend to use this space to show up so that I may see myself and I invite you to do the same in your own way, your own time. Take anything you find useful and adapt it to your own needs, play with it. You are your own true healer.
This site will be intentionally unfinished, periodically changed, and constantly evolving. Parts may even get deleted or retired if they no longer serve a need. I have also chosen to not have a “contact me” page. I’ve spent most of my life not only being highly critical of myself, but also allowing others to project their unaddressed shit onto me. I am a little tender and protective of myself and if you’ve come this far I trust you know I have my own healers and teachers I turn to for guidance, advice, and constructive feedback.
More importantly, what I share is only a suggestion for how you may also put pen to paper and see yourself. My invitation is a view into my own struggles and practices so that you may feel not alone and create your own self-healing. That has nothing to do with me. You are your own Healer Within.
As I write this, I wonder again, “why am I doing this?” I go back to where I started. I want to show up for myself and invite you to do the same. Thanks Alex!
