Many Thanks For Your Support

 
I am so humbled and thankful for the support and friendships made in the writing and release of my memoir, Frida and Me.

Gifts of Frida have been given along with healing of the heart and connection to many,just like me,struggling with PTSD.
I get messages all the time how my story has helped give others a hope and prayer for their own journeys, thus fulfilling my intention of writing this book.

I encourage anyone struggling with mental health issues to give my story a read for understanding how art can be a very powerful tool to address all the words tucked deep within. Expression can have a voice through image and be released for a path to peace within.

Art was my game changer after my bus wreck in Mexico and years of struggling with PTSD. Frida Kahlo,also in a bus wreck in Mexico, gave me permission to view my pain differently through art and validated the brokenness I hid from. That acknowledgment renewed my self respect and allowed me to connect to the world again on a path of healing and fulfillment.

Writing this memoir was indeed difficult and I questioned myself daily as to whether to share the intensity which was my life. Now, I am very happy I did because so many of you have benefited and supported me in this journey. I wrote Frida and Me in hopes of easing the struggle from PTSD and present art as a tool for mental health recovery.

Again, thank you friends and May we all find peace!!!!! Share with anyone touched by trauma and their support systems.

Art heals!!!
