Trauma is a storm that either leaves you completely destroyed beyond repair or it births purpose. Writing has become my healer, writing has become my strength, writing has increased my knowledge and is an outlet for the sea of pain to flow through. During my highs and lows writing is a consistent method that pulls me through each day. I have chosen to share my stories, poetry and writing with you all. Hello madness goodbye joy is where this chapter begins. Inside answers many questions we find ourselves asking at the start of loss, in the midst of shock and when we first experience the sting of grief. Then the Rise of the Phoenix is how my story unfolds as I find restoration, hope, healing and forgiveness. My 1st two books are available to buy on Amazon.
