Apple Books
Audible
Google Play
Spotify
Amazon

+ on many other audiobook streaming platforms!

The e-book version, if you prefer this format, is available for purchase on Amazon and Kobo.

With that said, the audiobook is the star of the show, as it features a mix of my released and unreleased music alongside the writing.

It would mean the world for you to listen to my story…

-

Some people don’t feel much, and then there’s the rest of us.

Feeling.

Feeling it all.

It’s a blessing and a curse.

So, I decided to write a book. Or a book decided to write me 🤔

Could have chosen to deal with loss in other ways.

Could have chosen to think.

Could have chosen to sink.

Could have chosen to drink.

Writing.

Secretly writing.

In a place where I could both turn inward and also distract myself from the heartache. It’s complicated — my entire grieving journey seems to be messy and far from over.

In hindsight, I can’t believe I wrote this book, and I’m equally shocked that it’s at the finish line 🏁

Could have chosen to run.

I didn’t. Some days I still want to.

There will be no more books. This was such a huge undertaking, I’m tired.

I’m starting to slow down…

And no, not slow down like die. Just slow down a little.

Noticing, breathing, letting go.

Slow is beautiful. I never realized it until now.

Sending blessings
