The year of paying attention

Using poetry as self regulation, Conversations With My Self(ies) attempts to cultivate calm, reclaim a sense of self, and celebrate wonder in the little things.

Written to help process the daily rollercoaster of feelings in quarantine - and now, beyond - this beautifully-illustrated collection is candid, contemplative, and uplifting, even as there's an undercurrent of loss. Ultimately, it's an ode to honoring our own pace. As we move forward from the global pandemic or our personal upheavals, may we heal from life's harsh blows, as well as embrace its unexpected gifts.
