An update on Reclamation (formerly Hope Notes):

Beloved,

For 12 years now I have written for and from the perspective of mother. I have offered honest accounts of both the highs and the lows. I have sang songs of lament to you (and with some of you) from places and spaces where death seemed imminent - to sit at the doorstep for myself or my child. I have carefully crafted truthful tales of mountain tops and monsters; and woven words of wonder at how goodness prevails. And most recently, I have traversed little “t” and big “T” traumas openly living alongside you with a brand of dis-ease and dysfunction and joy that I never knew to exist, until I did.

Today, while all of this influences Reclamation, my sole (and soul) purpose in this newsletter is to - with you - claim and claim again a peace that surpasses all understanding, come what may.

Every word here is meant to honor the mystery of good and God in real, raw motherhood and life. Every breath poured out here an avenue to normalize acceptance, surrender, and bliss in complicated bodies and lives. Even if we simultaneously question every inch of it all.

It’s a long road home, my dear.

Unless of course, we manifest home & Heaven here.

Going Forward

On this note, I introduce to you a new format for Reclamation. Going forward you can expect one expanded post in your inbox each week with exclusive behind the scenes content - including what books, articles, authors, good humans, and experiences are influencing my personal peace.

I believe that good can ripple out into the world, dearest soul. But only if we go this course together.

I love you.

Post of the Week

I love how much this post taught me last week. Mostly, that our words are powerful. But also, it was a precious reminder that not all of us are in a space of Cosmic surrender.

The healing that doesn’t look like healing can still be healing.

But only if we allow it to be just that.

Click here to read the full post and some wonderful comments by others in a similar life space, my friend.

We’re in this together.

I love you,

P.S. I mentioned in the subject line today that Bliss & Blue is FREE on Kindle this week! If a tale of good and God would fuel your journey, you can click here to grab it for you or someone you love. In most areas, you can still receive a paperback copy in time for Easter too!
