Brave Enough To Be Bliss

Living Bravely

Welcome to my world of words. For most of my life, writing was the only way I could really share my feelings. I wasn't comfortable saying out loud what I could write without hesitation. I'm learning how to express myself verbally now, but the written word is still where I feel most comfortable sharing pieces of my heart and soul.

I have a passion for people. I have a passion for better understanding myself and in that way being better able to understand those around me. I have a passion for sharing the deep love and concern I feel for every human being on this earth. I have a passion for sharing the importance of self-compassion because without it, I believe lasting change is difficult and we are limited in our ability to truly show compassion for others.

I invite you to subscribe to my blog and return here to explore expanding content and resources as I enhance this website in coming months while finalizing the book that will share my whole story, Brave Enough to be Bliss. Being able to refer to myself as a budding author still feels strange, but as I have learned strategies and embraced tools for self-improvement, my self-confidence has increased to the point where I can at least say it without too much hesitancy. And the more I do say it, the more natural it seems...just like everything I've learned. It was baby steps for me at first, there were points at which I felt like I took steps backwards, but then I reached a point where I could see not only a glimmer of hope, but I could see how when I let my light shine, others not only see it, but they feel it. I am hoping that by vulnerably sharing my experiences and perspective something may resonate with you and inspire you to look within. We can learn something from everyone we encounter if we have an open mind, truly listen to understand another's perspective, and ask clarifying questions rather than making up the answers and negatively impacting relationships.
