I moved to the top of a mountain and wrote a book

I combined poetry and ink illustrations to test my theory that trauma symptoms can be reduced holistically through creativity, nature, prayer, poetry, and faith. I moved to the top of a mountain in Colorado and began my process. Embracing neuroplasticity and believing this process would create new pathways in my brain, I wrote and made art. Unlocking the childlike aspect of imagination, I created mini-stories to accompany the art.

Each poem contains the themes of perseverance, dignity, honor, hard work, and love. I hope it will encourage everyone who longs for more peace in their lives to find their creative voice and thrive.

After faithfully adhering to writing poetry daily, I have over 80 poems and art pieces, and the results for myself were undeniable.

My hero’s journey is now compiled into a book called Creativity Cures.

The book can be purchased here. Below are some of the hand-drawn illustrations.
