My Chapter: The Heart’s Journey to Healing and Wholeness
In my chapter, I share a deeply personal story of how chronic pain mirrored the emotional pain I was carrying in my marriage—and how creativity became the bridge to self-love, healing, and wholeness. You’ll discover how tuning into your own heart and embracing simple creative practices can unlock profound transformation.
For me, it was photographing the heart shapes I found in nature as I followed my heart above all other voices. These photos became the genesis for my deck of Oracle cards, The Heart’s Journey: Healing Hearts Oracle Cards & Guidebook, published with Hay House Publishing and Balboa Press.
Whether you’re navigating stress, recovering from loss, or simply longing for more joy in your daily life, this book offers tools and stories to help you heal and thrive.
