Maura & Me: The Complete Chapters
Start here to begin exploring my complete unpublished memoir, available to Healing Lab supporters, anytime.
A while back, I began sharing pieces of this story here in this newsletter. Now, those pieces have been gathered here for those who want to read it in sequence.
I never imagined this story would find so many kind humans and that so many kind humans would stay to read it. So truly — thank you. Every quiet read, comment, and solidarity story you shared of your own — I feel it and it matters so damn much.
A dear friend and mentor said it best: When it comes to books, we must write from scars, not open wounds. That is where true meaning, beauty and wisdom lie.
Be patient with those wounds, my love. They will be scars one day soon.
She is right and that’s why even though writing these chapters has, at times, been an enormous struggle, I wanted to offer them in gratitude. Thank you for walking this path with me. Your presence here makes the telling possible.
