I wanted to share a piece I wrote there and encourage any of you interested in writing to look into Christin’s Blank Page Workshops. Her tagline “Stop Staring. Start Writing.” gives you a glimpse into her heart to help you turn the blank page into something worth sharing. I can’t say enough great things about it.
Here is a piece I wrote which will make sense if you’ve read previous blogs from my summer adventures:

With the release date just around the corner, I am excited to share with you chapter one of A Beautiful Mess: A Perfectionist’s Journey Through Self-Care. This is from the uncorrected proof, which has been corrected many times, but there still might be a couple of minor changes made between the final copy and this one (so if you see one let me know). However, please enjoy and stay tuned for chapters 2 and 3 in the next couple of weeks!
