Dear Reader,

This is my gift to you; a glimpse at the mess of my inner life. I share this as a both a comfort and challenge to you. Explore the depths of your own heart, mind and soul where you will find your authentic self. The good, the bad and the ugly. All of the beautiful chaos. 

Peace,

Rebecca
