I revived this page to share my writing journey this year (2025). Some amazing things have happened. Substack has become where I meet with other writers and readers like you. I've been accepted into The Creative Retreat Cohort with Teri Leigh. The journey officially begins this Thursday. It will culminate in mid-December. For starters, here is my Substack home.

I revitalized this public page to start sharing my blog posts. The general theme right now is about healing grief. Here's one of my blog posts.

I'll Bet You Didn't Know - Sacred Healing of Grief Wounds I'll bet you didn't know that I'm a su***de survivor. I thought seeking professional help would have worked some miracle healing. It didn't.

Sometimes, we need to know we can overcome difficult situations. This fearful drive reminded me how resilient I am. I suspect you are more resilient than you realize.

This white Christmas cactus was a gift from my neighbors about one year ago. Like our friendship, it has grown and flourished. The late afternoon sun adds even more interest.

Do you have presents that continue to give you pleasure long after?

Embrace the love you have experienced, honor the grief that reminds you of its significance, and find comfort in the shared journey we all embark upon as we unite.

Because beginning, middle, and end, what matters most is the love.

Compassionately,
Dawn
