In 2018 I saw a poster in a bathroom for a mindful writing group with Courtney Zenner. I went to the next meeting and Courtney introduced me to Natalie Goldberg. They both taught me writing practice. Taught me to sit, set a timer for 10 minutes, keep my pen moving, and go for the jugular. From that practice, I have stacks of journals filled with writing.
In 2024 Dr. Brilea implored me to get my journals off the shelves and into the world because he knows of so many patients and people who need the stories.
My dear friend Beth Wittmann read over 1000 pages and pulled out the pieces that were hot with energy.
You can find some of these writings published in my Substack.
