Pain

Pain has such a rawness

Is has this power

To break you

In ways you never even saw coming

It has a way

To make you see things

You never knew you didn’t see

To make you understand things

You never knew you didn’t understand

Pain opens gates to a realness

A depth of reality

Few of us ever get to see

We skate upon the surface of it

Never knowing how much more of the storyline

There always is

Ever oblivious

Until the pain

The devastating pain

Awakens us

To feelings of depth

To a much better understanding

To a true knowing

Thank you!

When I think about what I would do, if I could do exactly what I wanted to make a living...the only thing that comes to mind to me is writing.  I have had a passion and love for it since I was a teenager.

I am struggling to find the time and energy to finish a trilogy that has been ruminating in my head for some years now.  I have the first few chapters of the first book and a very brief and rough outline in my head for the others, but it would be one of my absolute greatest joys in life if I had the financial comfort to support my children and write without having to constantly hustle.  Financial stress and creativity don't go hand in hand for me.

So this means more to me than I can ever truly express and for that all I can say is a very deep and heartfelt...

Thank you!

I hope that I can be of service to you in the capacity that you need. So that this may be an equal blessing for you.
