“What are you reading?”
“Are you still writing?”
Hello Authenticitee Speaks Family!
I am incredibly grateful to those of you who reach out to check on me, when my blog goes mute. Yes; I’m still a reader with a voracious appetite and a consistent writer.
As I’ve said before, sharing in this space is inherently different than any of my other platforms. It’s more intimate and incredibly close to my heart. I’m constantly amazed that new followers are still joining me in this space almost everyday!! Thank you for being here. I’m humbled by your presence.
“What are you reading?”
I’ve been reading the book Dying To Be Free – A Healing Guide For Families After A Suicide by Beverly Cobain (cousin of Nirvana’s late lead singer Kurt Cobain) and Jean Larch.
It’s an extremely heartfelt and at times a graphic portrayal (trigger warning*methods) of those who’ve lost loved ones to suicide.
I definitely without hesitation recommend this book for those who have personally lost a loved one to suicide or to others like myself called to raise awareness.
“Are you still writing?”
Absolutely!
I definitely don’t post as much and consistently delete and archive my Instagram posts as usual because I bore very easily. It’s my personal preference to prune what I post quite frequently actually. Here’s a few recent pieces:
Love. I still believe.
Thanks for stopping by today and showing love, reading, sending messages and covering me in prayer!
