Every moment of every day presents us with experiences. The goal of Life Writes is to understand our experiences and appreciate the knowledge within them.
I define emotional intelligence as our ability to recognize what we’re feeling and what it feels like. By understanding our emotions, we can figure out what causes them. When we understand our emotions better, we can recognize them in others, which helps us relate to people effectively. Read more…

Each book in the series contains different emotions for you to explore, on your terms, in your own time. Find the ones that are right for you, and share them as gifts with those you love. Emotions are demanding little creatures. Acknowledge them, give them a voice, and remember they are like dance partners, some you will enjoy and some you’d like to send back to the bench to clean up a mess. They all have a purpose.

The Stayin’ in Touch series are journaling books you can use to explore specific emotions. Each book contains an emotion for each letter of the alphabet. It is a playground for you to write and/or draw about different feelings you experience. Skip around, pick a feeling that you’d like to explore, and get acquainted with these parts of yourself. Check out my blogs for samples, if you wish.
Writing about a specific emotion gives your heart and soul focused time to both feel and process the emotion. Believe it or not, each one has a purpose. (Yes, even negative emotions are sharing good things for us to grasp.) Here’s a sample…
Through the evolution of my trauma resilience journey, I learned the importance of recognizing what I was feeling. Instead of running from those feelings, I dove in, acknowledged what I was feeling, and explored the golden purposes of my feelings. Those golden purposes shift from time to time, so it’s always valuable to invite them in for a conversation.
My personal experiences influence every facet of my life; writing included. By digging in and learning more about our experiences, we can integrate the wisdom from those into whole of who we are. My memoir, Invisible Wounds: An Inside Story is a more in-depth way to understand how experiences have influenced who I am.
As an awkward music-nerd teenager, with the help of a trusted confidant, I took a leap of faith to go on a blind date. In an innocent instant, at knifepoint, the landscape of my life forever changed. This is a story about my ‘big ugly’ and how it became my big amazing. Read more…
I am a firm believer that we are what we think about. Recovery is a life-time journey and it’s okay to do it in small increments. (Small steps add up to big ones.) I’m deliberate about keeping what I want in my life forward in how I live. This also comes through in my writing, how I talk to myself and others, and I accept my personal responsibility along those lines. Read more…
My Stayin’ in Touch series invites you to write and/or draw your thoughts about your emotions. I give you simple prompts to open your imagination to share with yourself (or others) about what emotions mean to you.
