author | poet | thread artist

I am a storyteller and a poet.

I use words and thread, pencil and needle, paper and fabric.

my work is an ongoing conversation with myself.

And you thought you were a failure.

you might have to

put it down, close the door, walk away.

over and over.

this is not failure.

it is courage.

— and you thought you were a failure | you are not

a note to remind you of how brave you really are.

there are things you cannot begin to imagine yourself doing.

keep going.

you will.

you are worth your own courage.
