Sheila, You didn't just write generously — you saw it.

You named things I didn't know I had done consciously until I read your words back to me.

Thank you for reading with your whole self.

If you crave deeper, more meaningful conversations—the kind that sit with you long after you’ve read them—I’d love to welcome you to my Sub.....

It’s where I share reflections, poetry, and truths that don’t always fit in a post. https://f.mtr.cool/xmbjzanmki

🌙 Grateful for this powerful early praise for Night Flights from author Tom Diggs:
“An unflinching look at the darkness we carry… a necessary map of emotional excavation.”
Coming 2025. 💜

Get a sneak peek into the world of 'Night Flights' and explore the mystery of dreams and identity.

⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So descriptive of a very interesting woman’s battle with emotions and deciding what is consistent with her priorities and goals. A fascinating life.

A digital book reveal design featuring a gradient background from golden yellow to teal. Centered at the top is the text: “Count on me to be weird to name my book… BOOK: Beyond Our Own Knowledge.” An open book sprouts a golden tree in the center, with five floating rowboats labeled RADICAL, CARE, BEING, TRUTH, and SPACE. Floating pages and birds rise alongside the tree. The design evokes themes of transformation, courage, and poetic honesty.

A digital illustration on a soft gradient background from gold to teal. A golden tree grows from the center of an open book. The tree’s roots show the number 444 and the branches show 511. Birds and feathers fly upward as the text reads: “Dreaming literally and figuratively.” The image radiates peace, purpose, and spiritual reflection.

Count on me to be weird.
I named my book BOOK.
Beyond Our Own Knowledge.
Radical truth. Radical care. A radical ask:
If you're an agent aligned with this vision — reach out.
