My survival experience didn’t have much room for joy or non-ironic laughter. This reality can make finding and experiencing both unsettling as I step into my wholeness.

It’s my soul that insists I don’t have to be one of the walking dead. It’s my soul that reaches for connection. It’s my soul that says try again.

Dear Kelli,
What I want you to know is you make it out alive. Even better, you even learn how to do that while enjoying your life and feeling supported by others. I know you’re using the promise of an afternoon nap...

Showing up as my whole self means I’m bringing the light, the dark, and all the shadows in between.
