A Trip to the Coast

Last week, my husband and I went down to Wrightsville Beach for a wedding. Right before we left, I was reading through my grandfather, Richard Harvey Wright Jr.’s archives and found a letter about a trip he and his family took to Wrightsville Beach in 1930. I had to laugh at how particular my grandmother was. Inserted in the correspondence was a map of Wrightsville Beach during the early years.…

In the words of @johnhuntpublishing publisher, Trevor Greenfield, many years ago when the Earth was young, forty of us got together to write an anthology ebook called iPagan...  which includes chapters from leading shamanic, druidic, and earth-honoring voic Here's an excerpt from my essay, "Life Beyond Ecstasy." ""Foremost among those [unraveled truths] was the idea that shamanism is a healing modality. It isn’t. It isn’t a tool to be pulled out on occasion." The anthology is available for 99¢ on Amazon. #books #shamanism #bookstagram #amwriting #amwritingnonfiction #mustread #writerslife #authorsofinstagram #beyourcommunity #amazon #anthologies #amwritingmemoir #spiritjunkie #ncwriter #ncwritersnetwork

“Every initiation reaches a point of crisis, by design. If it was easy to let go of the old way, there would be no need for initiation. We’d seat easily into new wisdom.” Life Betwixt: Essays on Allies in the Everyday and Shamanism Among Feeling called, wanting to learn shamanism, and committing to the role of shaman are different things, each with their own challenge. Also in the Intentional Insights blog-to-book series, Life Betwixt speaks very frankly and transparently on what it's like to walk that path, every day, among, and the difference between crisis and initiation. #ncwriter #shamansofinstagram #shamanism #bookstagram #amwriting #amwritingnonfiction #mustread #writerslife #authorsofinstagram #beyourcommunity #amazon #intentionalinsights #initiation http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FKF2K0W/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B01FKF2K0W&linkCode=as2&tag=souintart-20&linkId=5CWE5TBWXIRBL2RY

The Piedmont region of North Carolina is an easy place to fall madly in love with. The extreme summer is at least filtered through the foliage-choked heights of hardwoods and softhearted pines, and the winter shiver is not known to last too long, failing to consider these recent confused seasons. The real traumatic, dangerous weather is within the southerner, who has gained and lost more in cultural transition than most other mass, vague, generic region of this nation. Which is good, for the most part. Change has been beneficial to us. For us. Because for too long the southern dream had become leaving the old homestead far behind.

Let’s awake from that escapist dream. It is time. We can not go back to the way things were, but that does not mean we can not go home. We can, and thankfully, we don’t have to travel too far to find a place as hot and cold as we are.

Writing This Novel..

It’s taken so much out of me. And it’s all I’ve thought about for so long.

But it’s so close to being done. (the first draft anyway)
