about

I created the first version of Living with Heart in 2003.  My intention and desire was to connect with people who had experienced a life-changing adversity and were looking for support as they made their way through their healing. Today, in this third imagining of my original dream, I offer what I have to give in a different way, with the same intent.  At this point in my life I feel called to share from a more personal perspective what I have learned from my experiences of adversity.  Transforming Living with Heart into a blog is my way to do this.

People often think of the adversity they experienced as a dividing line that split their life into before and after. By clicking ‘The Healing Path’ link you can access the pages from Living with Heart’s second incarnation.   These set out and explain all the parts of the journey that ultimately lead to the healing of this divide and bring you closer to wholeness and a unified life lived in the now.

There’s no doubt about it – a devastating adversity can shatter your life. But it is also true that the immense power of the human spirit, the immense power of YOUR spirit, gives you the ability to rebuild it. It won’t ever be as it was, but it can take shape in another way that is new and good.  I understand completely if you don’t want anything to do with new and good right now!  There is a lot to work through and healing is a process that takes time.  Just know it’s a real and achievable possibility that is there for you whenever you’re ready to choose it.

Coming back from adversity may be the challenge of a lifetime, but it is one that we meet again and again as our human resilience rises up and surprises us. To help that along, most people on this journey look for support and connection, solace and hope.  I hope you find that here.  Welcome to Living with Heart!
