The Breathing Room is a place where readers can slow down, step away from the chaos of their lives for a few minutes, and, hopefully, find a place of respite and connection.  

In this space, I’ll share about the process of writing my memoir, journaling as a spiritual practice and a "way in" to sharing our stories with others, and what I've learned ― and am still learning ― about healing after trauma. Along the way, I'll sprinkle in stories about Paris and my travels to other places around the world. 

I invite you to take a deep breath and join me.
