Careful Consideration

• This was the hardest yet most therapeutic part of creating my book. Sitting on my living room floor with all my pieces laid out was a deeply personal moment. I was physically touching the words of my story. My story that I was afraid of telling, my story that was stowed away in notebooks and journals for over a decade. But now here I was reviewing each piece and reminding myself of my incredible journey to healing.

• Hours and hours passed by but I didn’t even notice because I was laser-focused on my end goal of shaping a cohesive recollection of my life for readers to follow. Each piece was placed with careful consideration. I just can’t wait for you to hold it in your hands and savor each piece of my story.

• The pictures are blurred for obvious reasons ;) if you look close enough you can see my cat, ShaQuay, supervising me and keeping my on track.
