Anyone who has ever picked up a pen, in a moment of extreme emotion, will understand the power of the written word to transform... Anyone who has ever kept a diary, or penned a song, or written a poem, or a letter (fictitious or real) will appreciate the sense of relief and often clarity, that comes with putting thoughts and emotions onto a page (or screen!)... Anyone who has ever faced dark moments of solitude, alienation, loss or grief, will appreciate the deeply human and dire need to be heard and understood...
The pen and the page are the most readily accessible of friends...non-judgmental and helpful...becoming a gentle mirror for the soul...and shedding light on what often feels confusing and without hope... There is always hope...because there will always be a pen nearby to lend 'an ear' at those times when mere mortals are either asleep, unavailable or unapproachable...
Please note: This page is not a professional counselling service, nor can it take the place of such... Anyone who has faced challenges will know that it takes a holistic approach to heal from many of life's challenges..It is neither shameful nor a sign of weakness to seek out help and a compassionate ear and heart when life overwhelms...It is in fact a sign of great strength and maturity and responsibility and wisdom...
No one is impervious to pain...No one is impervious to struggles and no one person has all the answers to the problems of our lives... it is my deep hope that this page offers a place of encouragement, refreshment and reflection on what is effectively our common humanity...and that the spirit of hope will deeply inspire everyone who visits to hang in there, to keep hope alive and ultimately to remember that 'love does make the world go round'...as corny and cliche as that sounds...
Love... There is no greater healer on our planet...Enjoy your visit!
