In March of 2022, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. It has been raw, intense, and chaotic but a significant and transformative experience as well. In the midst of my anger, my sadness, and all of my fears, as a creative soul, I was drawn to write my feelings and inspirations down. Never would I have known that my first book would be born.
Solstice is a compilation of my own channeled intimate reflections, nuggets of wisdom, and poems I've written throughout this larger-than-life journey and has been a wonderful outlet for me to truthfully welcome the possibility to connect inward and fully embody this absolute love and compassion for myself.
Writing this book also helped me find solace, peace, and bliss in this chaotic season of my life, and I am very grateful for it. The journey is not over. Healing is not linear and has many bumps along the road. It is our life's work. I trust with certainty that this experience will be one of the most significant lessons, redirecting me on the right path for my highest good and growth. One day at a time, I am learning to shed whatever is no longer in alignment with my soul and to choose love and joy instead.
I hope Solstice will bring you comfort and support in your own beautiful, messy, and remarkable metamorphosis. Know that you are always loved and supported no matter what you are going through. Never underestimate the warrior you are. We each have a fire within us waiting to be lit. You are fierce and powerful beyond measure, and love will always be the greatest medicine you will find.
I see you. I hear you. I love you. Unconditionally.
