I am excited to announce my first book “Hardship and Bliss: Reflections for Mothers Who Seek Connection”. It is a poetry collection about motherhood. Motherhood can be the most rewarding but also the most challenging journey one travels. In this collection I explore what it means to be a mother. From feeling inspired by the innocent spirits of my children, to the depths of frustration when confronting their strong personalities. I write about moments of awe and wonder but also delve into darker aspects of motherhood, such as exhaustion, isolation, and the crisis of losing one’s identity.
Through my poems I hope to encourage moms to parent more consciously; to develop deep, compassionate relationships with their children and to give themselves permission to live their lives – true to themselves.
Take a look!
