The Golden Thread

Welcome! Writings surrounding courage, inspiration, resilience, healing and navigating the vicissitudes of life. Fighting for a life so worth living.

From far away lands

I came back
From far away lands
Hoping to find fertile fields
Ready to rest my tired feet
Ready to rest my head
Hoping a warm fire will be burning
Awaiting my arrival

To find nothing I recognize
Barren roads
Empty lands
Unfamiliar faces

"this does not feel like home" my heart tells me
And though this is a hard truth to face
I know I cannot force this place to be
what it is not

We must know when we cannot stay

Writing is my native tongue.  I have written for every reason in my life. To heal from deep wounds, living and surviving childhood emotional neglect and abuse, generational trauma, to express joy, to see myself through darkness, to celebrate how beautiful life is.  How simple and pure.  I used to write just for me. Now I share, let you in, because I feel it may be helpful. Maybe you will see yourself in these writings too.  Whatever you take away, know you're worth every step of your incredible journey to the greatest of heights.
