I didn't take many pictures during my visit with my daughter last week.

We were too busy being present.

And honestly, I'm okay with that.

We spent our time organizing, rearranging, figuring out where things belonged—and talking, laughing, and simply being together.

I realized how easy it is to think we need to capture the moment instead of simply living it.

Sometimes the moments we remember most aren't the ones we photographed.

They're the ones we were fully there for.

**What moments in your life have you been too busy living to photograph?** 💜

I didn't think I was a writer, and I certainly didn't set out to write a memoir. I thought I was writing a cookbook. 💜

When I first took Bonnie Hutchinson's Write From Your Heart program, I was doing just that, working on a cookbook.

A few years and lots of healing later, that story morphed and evolved into Crohnie kNOw More.

Bonnie recently shared this short interview she did with me, where I talk about my experience in her program and the journey that followed.

I’d love for you to hear the story in my own words. 💜

Bonnie's next Write From Your Heart program begins October 1.

A little author moment that made me smile. 💜

Last week I stopped by Dog- Eared Pages with a copy of Crohnie kNOw More.

I had such a lovely conversation with the owner, and he kindly offered to put one copy on the rack and sell it on commission.

It may seem like a small thing, but it felt pretty special to me.

I'm grateful for his kindness, for the opportunity to share my story in my own community, and for the independent bookstores and people who make room for local writers.

Thank you, Dog-Eared Pages, for making room for Crohnie kNOw More.

One book. One reader. One connection at a time. 💜

There was a time when simply sharing a meal with someone I loved felt almost impossible.

This week, I shared meals with friends. It felt ordinary.

And maybe that's what struck me most.

There was a time when it wasn't.

Two years ago, I was sitting across the table from my daughter Serena, celebrating her birthday.

During dinner, I mentioned an invitation to a spiritual retreat in Cyprus. I had already decided I wasn't going.

Serena stopped me.

"Mom, you're healed. You might actually be able to go."

Sometimes the people who love us see how far we've come before we can see it for ourselves.

Looking back, that dinner was about so much more than a birthday.

It was a glimpse of a life I was beginning to realize I could live again.

💜

I used to think healing happened somewhere out there.

On a retreat.

In another country.

Through one extraordinary experience.

Two years ago today, I came home from Peru.

Peru changed me.

It wasn't the end of my healing.

It was the beginning of learning how to come home to myself.

One of the greatest gifts I brought back wasn't an answer.

It was learning to listen differently.

To my body.

To my thoughts.

To my emotions.

To life.

Looking back now, I can see that healing wasn't one dramatic moment.

It was the quiet decision, again and again, to notice...

to feel...

and to trust what my body had been trying to tell me all along.

That journey changed far more than my health.

It changed my relationship with myself.
