The Open Book
Real. Raw. True. And full of hope.
📖 Still writing the chapters · coming eventually 💛
Chicken-Soup-for-the-Soul — but make it real. Short, true stories, each one a little reset or a lesson — grouped by theme and flowing one into the next.
Real and raw — the broke nights, the hard parts, AND the wins — but it always lands on hope. Every story is told by a woman who kept learning and kept getting better, so the next mom feels a little less alone.
The thread that ties it all together: "I'm going to learn more so I can be better." Love hard, love deep — there's no end to that.
The honest truth: I'm still writing it. The Open Book is partly my own reset — my therapy, on the page — so the chapters come when they're ready. No deadline. Some I'll share; some are just mine, for now. Whenever one's ready to be read, you'll be the first to know. 💛
The foster journey — loving kids all the way, even for a season, and counting it worth every bit.
The adoption journey — the longing answered, the miracle, the chosen, the forever.
My roots — the love that held me, and the hard that became my strength.
Granny used to always say, "You writing a book? Leave that chapter out." For many years I stayed silent — held my guilt and my pain until it was too much to bear. Those younger years shaped me… and the woman I am today. I know I'm meant to share the real, raw truth — so you know you're not alone.
The whole woman I became, on purpose. More than a role — the whole person.
The lessons — behavior is communication, the systems that held, and "you matter too." Still evolving.
Read a free taste — two real, true stories from my house. The full Reset MINI Book (more stories + the systems that held) comes free with the $97 Summer Pass.
