ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Words were my first love. Growing up you could find me either outside on mystical adventures with the neighborhood kids or in my room immersed in a book, insatiable in my thirst for knowledge and understanding this world I was newly apart of. Bookworms were celebrated at my elementary school and I often took home 1st place for most books read over the summer which meant I got a coupon for a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut or a frostie from Wendy's or a happy meal from Burger King. Even though I have a completely different relationship with food and what I put into my body now, the seed planted in me from so long ago was showing me even then that being a seeker, a bookworm, and on a quest for knowledge would be rewarded and well-received by the world. Even still, like most of us, I experienced rejection and trauma as I fumbled my way along with my calling. When I was younger, the sacred space of my diary was violated and got ME into trouble, simply for authoring my own truth, reflection and feelings. Over the past 25 years, I have been healing that and other wounds. This book you hold is a homecoming.
