Through teaching and fostering transformation, empowerment, healing, and growth through the process and power of transformational writing, our mission is to change the world, through changing ourselves, one word at a time, one day at a time.
Our books, workshops, and private consultations focus on the individual's recovery and healing journey through writing to heal trauma and grief.
“This collection of love poetry chronicles a journey through friendship, love, and loyalty. These poems were first shared as a private and intimate exchange with and for each other, then ultimately compiled in celebration of our union. Since then, we have realized that this work is so fresh, relevant, honest, authentic, and vulnerable that it absolutely has to take its place in this world. It’s not about us. This is about you. It’s about possibility. And opportunity. And doing the work on your own individual journey and watching as your life unfolds into something far beyond your wildest dreams. Connection and collaboration heal. Our sincere hope is that something in our words, in our love, may resonate within you, and leave you with a little more hope and a lot more love in your heart. And besides, who doesn’t love a good love story?!”
