Live with JOY.
When we deal with our own dark edges fearlessly, we walk the Hero's Journey.
We are ALL walking the Hero's Journey.
When something precious is lost whether it’s a loved one, or in my case, the innocence of childhood it’s hard to let it go. Grief shrouds every part of us with dust, smothering joy, light, and colour, turning life bleak and grey.

I’ve become a student of the effects of shame, and I’ve had plenty of study material: myself. As I prepared for the book promotion of the second edition of my young adult novel, The Great & the Small, I grappled with waves of terror that exceeded mere stage fright and dived deep into shame. This new edition, told through the eyes of teenaged Ananda, reflects my journey of reclaiming memories from buried childhood trauma.
