A Bridge Over Troubled Waters: Join the Journey of Healing

Suspended in the air.
Hypervigilance mixed with commitment.
Committed to becoming a better form of self.
What lives inside wants to be free.
May God show us all The Way.


Sometimes, we find ourselves suspended between where we are and where we want to be.
For over 13 years, I've worked with incarcerated youth, and it's a role that requires a heightened sense of awareness, a state of constant vigilance. At times, I feel suspended in that world—between the demands of my work and my longing for peace, comfort, and relaxation. I'm living in a season where I sense that more is coming, but it hasn't arrived yet. This tension, this space of waiting, can be challenging to navigate, especially when the path forward feels unclear.
Yet, within this space, a desire for freedom lives inside me, yearning to be released. We all carry that longing. We're thankful for what we have, guided by faith to be content in abundance and scarcity. But there's also a whisper inside us—a desire for more, a need to break free from the weight we carry. My journey led me to create Get Your S.H.I.T. Together, a bridge for anyone seeking more from life, a way to release what holds us back and move forward with renewed strength.


A Bridge Over Troubled Waters
I envisioned this book as a bridge over troubled waters because it's meant to connect with readers navigating pain points in life. Each page encourages you to reflect, sit with your thoughts, and—most importantly—to write. Writing has become my place to lay down my burdens and release emotions that otherwise stay trapped inside. Over the years, my writer's notebook has transformed into a safe, brave space. Recently, I revisited a poetry book I wrote in 2015 and realized that while some pain points remain, they don't weigh me down as they once did. This realization, this transformation, is the power of writing, and it's a power I want to share with you.
I don't slip into bouts of depression the way I used to; I recover more quickly now.
This book and the act of writing have been part of that healing journey for me.


Finding Strength, Hope, Intentions, and Tenacity
Each part of S.H.I.T. (Strength, Hope, Intentions & Tenacity) has shown up differently in my journey, and I know they will for you, too. Strength is something I tap into daily, especially when times get hard. That strength comes from hope—a hope rooted in my faith, trusting God for the unseen. With hope, I find the courage to pursue my goals intentionally, even in the face of obstacles. Tenacity keeps me going on days when nothing seems to change or when those around me aren't on the same page. I want my readers to connect deeply with hope because we lose our footing without it.
​Hope gives us something to hold onto; with it, we can tap into our strength, intentions, and resilience on the healing journey.


Your Notebook as a Place to Lay Down Burdens
We're not meant to take this journey of healing and growth alone. I'm looking for a community of writers—people ready to put in the work, share their stories, and lean on one another for support. Just as Get Your S.H.I.T. Together has been a bridge for me, I want it to be a bridge for you, a way to lay down your burdens and make space for healing. Your notebook can be your safe space, just as it has been for me, a place where you can explore, reflect, and write your way to clarity. Together, we can create a supportive community where we lift each other through the words we share and the experiences that connect us.
