MY WRITING
Words are
a way to
come home.
Welcome to the Publications page, where you can explore my written works. As a shamanic energy healer and author, I combine my insights with the art of storytelling to inspire and guide readers on their own journeys of self-discovery and healing. Here, you'll find a collection of my books, each crafted to illuminate the path towards inner wisdom, creativity, and growth.
A WRITER'S PRACTICE
Some things become clearer when we give them language.
Writing has been part of my work for as long as I can remember. It has carried me through classrooms, conversations, quiet early mornings, and the wide middle of not knowing.
My publications bring that lifelong practice into the world: one through image and verse, another through the fierce, creative possibility of teaching and self-expression.
Books made from story, attention, and the courage to speak.
LITERACY • WRITING RESOURCE
Feeding the Roots of Self Expression and Wisdom
Writing as a path toward voice, freedom, and possibility
For this book, Jimmy Santiago Baca, one of the foremost poets in America today, collaborates with two National Writing Project Fellows and literacy professionals, Kym Sheehan and Denise VanBriggle. Together they present a teaching tool that uses poems from Baca’s incarceration as a young man, along with curricular activities and probing questions crafted to help students heal through writing. Each exercise reinforces the theme that a strong grasp of self-esteem borne from unique expression lends itself to the student enjoying day-to-day life at the highest creative and fulfilling level.
