The Pyre of my Life
After years of lighthearted play, dabbling with small sparks of creativity, my life took an unexpected turn - and everything was burnt to the ground.
And from those embers, my self and my creative life were born anew, refined and galvanised by the furnace.
In 2021, I began to step away from the ashes of my old life, casting off layers of skin and beliefs I thought kept me safe but just kept me small.
From complete devastation and rock bottom, I found the solid part of me that is unshakeable. And upon it I build; piece by piece, post by post.
Here you can expect excerpts from my private journals, post-traumatic growth and reflections on life as a solo parent juggling the demands of a tiny family with a small business and a big divorce.
Life is magnificently multifaceted and every word I share is part of the foundation I lay to rebuild this life of mine. I am learning to expose parts of me I had learnt to keep closely hidden for decades. I share words that make me want to shrivel up in fear of ridicule; but with each post I slowly unravel the personal narratives I thought were truth, and take a match to them.
If my words touch a part of you that also feels tender and raw, I hope you’ll stay to join me on this path. Most of my posts are free, but if you wish to offer some reciprocity for this heart work, then you can upgrade to paid too. Either way, subscribing helps stoke the fire in my heart to keep writing and keep sharing.
When we connect, letting words tend to the innermost parts of our being, that’s where the magic really happens.
