“This is a collection of gentle poems to slip over the shoulders when we need encouragement, comfort, or simply to know that we are seen by another. Heather speaks with a comforting wisdom, that holds up the ordinary experiences that each of us encounter, as part of this thing called, ‘being alive. Each poem calls us to pay attention, whether to the natural world around us, or to the rich inner world that we are shaped from. “
-Liezel Graham (Scotland), artist, and author of The Velveting Bones, A Counting of Love and Stripped
You can read this book of therapeutically informed poetry however suits you best! In chunks while sitting in the sun, by the fire with a cuppa, or perhaps one or two pages a day as a sort of meditation on life. It is my hope that it will encourage, provide thoughtful moments, or perhaps even gently teach. I hope that it supports you as you traverse the journey of life, awakens hope or makes you feel even a little bit more seen!
Themes include: mental-health, reflection, upheaval and transition, beauty, hope, time out to be renewed, parenting, faith.

Some reviews from Amazon.com
“Heather’s words transport me to another realm, providing a reminder to sit down, breathe, feel, and focus on what is really important. It is an experience of peace, of knowing, of pondering, of relating. I walk away elevated, peaceful and nourished. It’s a wonderful gift. I purchased a copy for my mother and my daughter and they both love it as well.”
“Thanks for sharing your heart and talent. Such a beautiful book and marvelous read! I read bits each day and every time left feeling like I had just chatted with my best friend. Sometimes I put the book down with joy, sometimes deep contemplation, but always with an eagerness to go back to its pages. I bought 5 books for each of my girls for Christmas. Of course after completing the book, I said I absolutely needed to leave a review. 5 stars all the way around.”
