healing happens - Paperback

by Michelle L. Tate (Author)

Someone once threw me the line - healing is natural. Internal voice echoed and said that "healing" is not only natural, it is our business and our right. A seed already living within us, though sometimes deeply buried by the noise and experiences of our lives. For me, something unsettled stirred inside. I stir with it. Maybe it's worth digging for. Trauma of any flavor forms exceptional layer, which can separate us further from our own truth. How interesting should that be? These writings are shared with raw, honest, heartfelt style. Some in the form of story, some poetry - all carry a suggestion and also a hope. That we...remember. Empowerment is a magnificent thing - free to be received, if only we stop to pick it up. While the journey of our return may not always be easy, it is possible. And it is undeniably, worth the effort.
