We moved.
Fall pushed against me, and I collapsed into the flow, gratefully, moving with it all. We are well. The lot of us. New jobs. New schools. New homes. And my perspective lightens in this place. So close to my childhood home, and my people in every nook here. Quiet German stock. Salt of the Earth, which always sounded like an insult to me. It's not meant as such. It is meant that they are my preserver. The one that keeps me fresh and tasty. Familiar. Sturdy. Welcoming.
I write still, create artwork. I mostly pour my energy into my business, the Moon + Stone Healing. Part of the reason I am here writing today is that I am heading over to the Mulberry Art Studio in Lancaster, PA, today at 1p. I am reading some poetry for the new book of Stephanie Cole and Catherine Bayly. I am honored to have some work in their collection called To Linger on Hot Coals. The book's website is right here. You'll recognize many of the contributors: Dr. Joann Cacciatore, Kara Jones, Sherokee Ilse, Laura Seftel, Carly Dudley, Tara Hart, Beth Morey, Amy McCarter, Hannah Logan Morris, Anne Morris, and Devany LeDrew. If you are in Pennsylvania, or in the area, please consider coming by to say hello and support this amazing collection.
I have a book I'd love to give away to one of you. And I will take it today to get signed by my colleagues there for you. So leave a comment. Let me know how you are.
In other news, I am also honored to be in another book coming out this Spring called Three Minus One, which is a piece about my miscarriage after stillbirth. Again, you will recognize some of those names featured. I will give away another book when that comes out, sometime in April. But you are welcome to pre-order it.
I am always here, even if I am not here. So send me an email (though I am crappier about emailing. It takes me days, sometimes weeks, but I do catch up!) Or connect on FB. I am pretty active there. Love to you all.
I still come by to read your words. Thank you for sharing xxxx
ReplyDeleteAm Hellen, thanks to Dr oniha who cured me of fallopian tube blockage and fibroid with his herbal tuber cleanser. My marriage was on the verge of collapsing, because I was unable to bear a child for my husband. Until I came across Dr ONIHA's recommendation onLine,of how he has helped numerous of childless couples to have children with the help of his wonderful herbal medication, and I contacted him. And he administered his herbs on me.within the space of two months, i became pregnant, I now have a child I can call my own. In case you want to contact him for a similar problem, or all other infertilty issues, you can reach him through his email:

Angie, so delighted to see you in my feed today. I will be ordering both books soon. As my grief ages, and is now settling in my life so differently at 2 years out, I still look for good grief reads. The need to connect with the human experience regarding child loss is still there. The shock is gone, but diving into what was once so raw is still like therapy for me. Thank you for that xox
ReplyDeleteMuch the same here. I can't delete my blog. Yet I'm rarely there. Yet some days, I need to be there. It feels like a weight is lifted after I write there. And so it remains. I miss Elias so much. I still deal with so much judgment. I can't delete people from my life when they are family. I miss "friends" who stopped talking to me after Elias died. I know I shouldn't, but I do. My life is so full. So very full. Two little ones at home, a full-time career, continuing education, a marriage, an active social life, hobbies. So why do I miss those who went silent after my son was born silently? It's just heartbreaking I suppose, loss on loss. Still processing everything, three years out. Yet I'm happy. And I'm going to be okay. And I know that. So that's huge.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I'm much more active on Facebook than in the blogosphere. Whatever works, right?
So glad we are still in touch there if not here. I continue to be inspired by you in your ventures, grief-related or otherwise.
I would have loved to have gone to PA to see you read. I hope to check out this collection of poetry. I'm sure it's very moving. Much love. xo ~Lindsay
