Soul Freedom

A Personal Memoir of One Woman's Journey Through Her Dark Night of the Soul

What happens when you stop running from your pain and start writing it down?

When my life fell apart, after an abusive relationship, a divorce and walking away from my teaching career, I moved back into my childhood home and began a 48-day forgiveness practice. I wrote about it every night. Friends worried I was losing my mind. I was actually finding my soul.

My raw, day-by-day journal through the dark night of the soul
Facing the people and memories I had never forgiven, including myself
The breakdowns that quietly became breakthroughs

Why I wrote these

These books are raw, and that's the point.

I didn't have an editor. I was the editor. These books were written in real time, during my intense awakening, while I was still in the middle of it, not looking back on it from somewhere safe.

That's what makes them different. You're not getting a polished expert who has it all figured out. You're getting the truth of what it actually felt like, and what helped me find my way home to myself.

If you're in your own dark night right now, I want you to know: the breakdown can be the beginning.
