Conversations on the Healing Journey
Conversations on the Healing Journey
I do have good memories of my childhood, though few. I cherish the ones I have of the tea and conversations my sister, mother and I used to share. On this healing journey I would like to take the energy of those conversations and create a space here to share my thoughts with you.
Consider this an invitation. You are warmly welcomed to share your thoughts with me here.
To the best of my ability, I will create audio recordings of these posts for those who are hearing impaired or just prefer to listen instead of read. However, there are a lot of back posts, and I’m also limited in time as I’m working on a number of projects.
But like me, this blog is a work in progress. Thank you for joining me. Pull up a chair, make yourself comfortable, and I’ll put on the kettle.
~ Demian
