My writing is bold, open hearted, and honest. My writing is my journey. My experience. Some of it may be yours too…
Writing feeds, nourishes, soothes, and elates me. It’s, in part, a reflection of the offerings you see here on my website. A celebration and acknowledgment of all experience. An intimate involvement with life. I can’t not write. Expressing our creative energy is medicine for the soul.
“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.” –Anaïs Nin
I chose a bird to symbolise my writing. Wings outstretched, flying, freedom. The bird which specifically resonated was the New Zealand tui, with it’s two distinctive white throat tufts. The feathers illuminate and celebrate the throat. The tui is the star singer and entertainer at a fancy dress party for the voice. The tui is also the sound of New Zealand, the sound of home for me.
Expressing myself through the written word has allowed me my own voice. I’ve always written. It helps me to make sense of the world and enables me to be true to myself.
I word bomb all over the place. You can’t read my personal diaries and novel drafts, yet, but I do invite you to read my journal here.
I’ve created Raw & Unfiltered on Substack to connect with others and share my writing in a supportive community that celebrates writers. I’m having fun playing there. It’s still a new space for me and my wings flap tentatively at times, as though testing for take off, but my voice is gently becoming familiar with it’s echo in this environment. You can find out more about my writing on my Substack About page. I’d love for you to subscribe and join me.
