The collection of resources below consists of works that have been essential to my mental health journey, my life, and my recovery. These are pieces that have moved me significantly. I revisit many of these often. Some I have only taken in once, and will again. In these pieces, I find truth and balance. I find centering perspectives and tools of achievement. I find clarity, resilience, and tranquility. I hope something in this collection sends you on your quest to find what you seek. I see, know, hear, think, and understand something different each time I take in these pieces. As my resume of experiences develops, so does my perspective and my ability to distinguish certain nuances I did not previously detect. As I take in more ideas, I see more connection. I believe the same is true for everyone. We all unfold.
Enjoy!
