There are some things we spend years trying to say. Sometimes we write them in journals. Sometimes we speak them to someone we love. Sometimes we carry them silently. And sometimes, eventually, they become a book. Today, The Language of Staying is finally live on Amazon Kindle. This book is deeply personal to me. It is about grief. Love. Loss. Compassion. Loneliness. The people we carry with us. The wounds we don't always know how to heal. And the quiet courage it takes to keep showing up when life doesn't look the way we thought it would. I didn't write these poems because I have all the answers. I wrote them because I'm still learning too. Learning how to stay. Learning how to soften. Learning how to let go. Learning how to come home. And perhaps that's what these poems are really about. Not fixing ourselves. Not pretending everything is okay. But finding a way to remain present to our lives, even when they hurt. The Language of Staying is now available on Amazon Kindle. If you've walked through grief, loss, change, loneliness, love or simply found yourself wondering where you belong… perhaps there is a poem in these pages that was waiting for you. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJWR3TXV For USA in $ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HJWR3TXV For UK in £ https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0HJWR3TXV For France in € ❤️ I'd love to know — what does “staying” mean to you?

Hi Everyone 👋 Please send your healing energies to my angel YoYo🐶 She has been unwell since yesterday morning. She woke me early yesterday, and she couldn't find anywhere or any position to feel comfortable all day. She didn't eat, only drank a little water, and today she is worse, not moving, just sleeping. I've made an appointment to see the Vet later this afternoon 🤞🤞🙏
