“Words that arise deepen my understanding of myself; allow forgotten or hidden parts of myself to emerge. Sometimes new parts of me are discovered and expand through the act of creation.”
~ A. N. Tipton
Emerging Through the Shadows
#emergingthroughtheshadows #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity
The art of surrendering isn't about giving up—it’s about releasing, expanding, and trusting the rhythm of life. When we let go, we rise. What does surrender mean to you?

✨ New poem on Substack ✨
So often we disconnect.
This piece is talks to us about generational fears.
Break the pattern.
If you've ever felt distant from your own body,
this one's for you. 🦋

🕊️ "Birth is never quiet."
My latest Substack piece, Birth, is a reflection on creative emergence, transformation, and what it really means to bring someone into the world.

The best investment you can make is in yourself. 🌱
In your healing.
In your growth.
In your creativity, your dreams, your peace.
Every step you take toward becoming more of you—more aligned, more free, more empowered—is never wasted.
#InvestInYourself #ShadowWork #emergingthroughtheshadows
✨ A little inspiration goes a long way.
Something about the smell of books, the taste of fresh tea, and the quiet tap of keys just unlocks something.
Feeling good. Inspired. Creative.
Letting the Muse do her thing ☕💻💫

Excerpt from my poem “Empty”
Empty, like my eyes
dead of night
falling down in the dark abyss
Grief is that
feeling of nothingness
after a storm of pain of loss
This piece was written in a moment when words barely came—but what did come, camereal.

Books breathe life into our spaces. Whether it’s a well-loved poetry collection, a fantasy that sweeps you away, or a dog-eared self-help book that changed your life—books are more than decor. They are soul.
What’s the one book that has made your space feel like home?

Tell me it’s real…
Loving where this journey has taken me so far, and it has only fueled my passion and desire to keep creating. This is just the beginning. I can't stop now!

✨ Writing is a love affair—a slow-burn romance, a dance between passion and frustration.
📖 Excerpt from Emerging Through the Shadows
What do you have a love affair with? 💫
#WritingLife #poetry #WritersJourney #EmergingThroughTheShadows
✨ Every story begins with a single word…
Write your own story – because no one else can tell it like you.
And if you’re a writer, artist, or dreamer, remember: your story matters too.
What story are you writing? I’d love to know. 🖋️

currently
sleepwalking
Will I ever awaken
from this never-ending affliction?
As I make you my addiction,
I need an intervention for my soul
because without you I don’t feel whole.

Seeing these words reminds me why I wrote this book—to connect, to heal, & to share the journey. I never realized how important reviews were until I published my own book. I’m beyond grateful for the love & support this book has received so far!
