The Maze of Healing
Healing can feel like wandering through a maze blindfolded.
You don’t know where you’re going, only that you can’t stay where you are.
For me, the way out came through writing.
When I felt most lost: betrayed, heartbroken, questioning my worth. I turned to the page. What started as tear-stained journal entries slowly became poems, affirmations, and eventually, books. Words became the lantern that helped me find myself again.
1. Emerging Wings
Read Emerging Wings on Amazon →
This book was born from my most transformative season. The kind where everything familiar falls apart, and you’re forced to meet yourself again.
Emerging Wings is raw, feminine, and deeply personal. It touches on betrayal, boundaries, self-worth, and the quiet rebirth that comes after loss.
Writing it felt like shedding old versions of myself I no longer needed. It was messy and liberating all at once. A process of grieving who I was, while gently stepping into who I was becoming.
It’s for the woman in transition.
The one learning to trust her intuition again.
The one who doesn’t announce her healing but embodies it.
If you’re standing at the edge of your own transformation. Unsure, but ready. Emerging Wings will meet you there. It’s not a manual for healing. It’s a mirror, reminding you that your softness and strength can coexist.s.
2. Sincerely Yours: Being in Love With Your Heart is Enough
Read Sincerely Yours on Amazon →
This one is gentler. Softer. More like a whispered conversation than a declaration.
It’s a collection of love letters to the heart. A reminder that even when love has left you shattered, even when the world feels too heavy to carry, you are enough.
Writing Sincerely Yours felt like sitting across from my younger self, holding her hands, and saying:
“I know it hurts.
But you’re going to be okay.
You don’t have to rush your healing.
You just have to stay.”
If Emerging Wings was about transformation, Sincerely Yours was about tenderness. It’s the book you reach for on quiet mornings or sleepless nights. When you need to remember that being gentle with yourself is a form of power.
Why I Share My Writing
Writing has always been more than words for me.
It’s been prayer.
Release.
Reclamation.
I don’t write because I’ve figured life out. I write because I’m still learning how to hold it.
These books were my way of processing heartbreak, forgiveness, and self-discovery. And now, they live on as letters for you. For anyone navigating their own soft era of healing, rediscovery, or simply learning to live for themselves again.
Every poem, every line, every page is a piece of me that survived something. And I share it in hopes it reminds you that you can, too.
If You’re Healing Right Now…
Here’s what I want you to know:
- Healing is not linear. It’s layered, cyclical, and human.
- You don’t have to “get over it.” You can grow through it.
- Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is sit with your feelings and write them down.
Start small.
Write one sentence a day.
A thought. A feeling. A memory.
Let your words hold what your heart can’t yet say out loud.
And when you’re ready. Come back to the page. It will always be there, waiting for you.
