👉🏼 START HERE
I’m not here to convince anyone of my perspective. I trust you’re on your path.
I write to find my way. For more than thirty years I’ve been coming to the page to find out what I think, feel, and how to move forward.
I share what I write because we’re in this together. I hope that what I share lands as a gift on your journey. I also hope to spark a conversation. One that helps us all come home to ourselves, each other, and this planet.
I believe we all belong here. On this planet. To this life. To each other.
And I want stories that are big enough to hold us all.
Who the new story is for
You. If you’re comfortable with the world as it is you’re totally welcome to stick around but this probably is not the place for you. The New Story is for those who yearn for something more and different than the life you currently find yourself in, within a world that was shaped by stories and systems of separation and scarcity.
Riya. The New Story is for my daughter Riya, as well as my nieces Anna and Brooke. We each inherit a load of conditioning, trauma, false narratives, and toxic theology that those before us weren’t able or willing to face. What I share here is part of my inner and outer work of doing what I can to lighten the load and clear the trail for them. The next generation deserves to thrive and they need all the support we can give them.
Me. It’s healing to find my voice and speak truth as I see it. This newsletter is an evolutionary process of writing my way toward the new story I feel rising in the collective and sense our culture needs.
Us. I believe we all belong here. On this planet. To this life. To each other. And I want stories that are big enough to hold us all.
I believe our longing for something more whole is evidence that
we’re capable of it. That’s what I’m here to explore.
It becomes possible together
I want to thank my partner Alan Starner, my mentor Ro Marlen, and all my wise, brave friends who are traveling their healing path and cheering me on as I step forward to share what’s mine to share. I wouldn’t be where I am without you and I’m so glad we’re walking together.
And I thank YOU for being here. It’s a gift to be doing this being human thing together.
A note about poetry 🎶
Most of what I share here at The New Story is my stories and poems. Poetry is a form of storytelling that makes words dance and turns language into music. I love poetry and share mine in two formats because I want you to have the full experience~
Poetry is a song. It believe it’s meant to be heard with the ear as well as read on the page. That’s why I read my poems aloud for you. I highly recommend you click on the audio or video file to receive the full experience of the spoken poem.
