Stories From the Heart

Join and get a free copy of "CREATIVE PROMPTS FOR HAPPY BRAIN: When you want to like mental health journal prompts but you'd rather be reading or writing a fantasy novel."

In Stories From the Heart, delivered every other Tuesday, I share resources, original work, and inspiration focused on mental wellness and connection. My original work may be fictional, but it reveals truths of the human condition through the perspective of story, like a stained glass window, letting light through in its own unique patterns and colors.
