Brave

Some books arrive like a whisper and others come crashing in like a truth you’ve been avoiding.

From The Vault was one of those books I didn’t feel ready to share. Worried that it might be too much or not enough at all. From The Vault is a collection of poems and thoughts I’ve written over the years, kept tucked away and decided to compile them into a book. They held parts of me through love, grief, survival, faith, forgiveness and becoming.

Over time, I realized those words were waiting for me to be ready. And honestly, me being ready never came. What did come is the courage to share them anyway. Not perfect, fearless, just willing. Willing to show up for myself, willing to write the truth, willing to trust that maybe someone else needed those words too.

Then there’s What I Hope You Know, a book that feels like a lifeline. Each piece was written for the version of me that was grieving, questioning, doubting everything I thought I knew about life, faith and healing. It’s raw, it’s gentle, it’s what I needed when I didn’t have the answers; just hope, barely held together.

If I’ve learned anything, it’s this: The most powerful stories are the ones we almost didn’t share. The ones we thought were too much or not enough. They are exactly the ones that end up reaching someone else right on time.

So, this post is for anyone sitting on a dream they don’t feel ready for. For anyone waiting for the perfect moment. The truth is, you don’t have to feel ready or wait for the perfect moment. You just have to do it.

And maybe one day you’ll look back and realize what scared you the most was the very thing that set you free.

With Love,
