HELLO! WELCOME TO MY BLOG.
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.
Learning to Trust, Step by Step
Walking the Camino de Santigo, I learned to trust, step by step
I will sing
Before COVID-19 I took singing with others for granted. The feeling of singing together in the same space can’t be artificially reproduced.
Finding Resilience
As the coronavirus pandemic lingers and intensifies, I’ve been looking for examples of resilience. Turns out, I didn’t have to look very far.
True Connection
For those who are isolated and alone, connecting with others is vital. Sharing even the most mundane details of our daily lives can provide a lifeline to another.
