"Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads."
- Thoreau

Everything I do these days—the motivation behind, in front of, and all around Honey Help YourSelf—is an act of owning me, of standing up in the full light of day to raise my hand and simply declare that I am here. In my integrity, embracing my light and shadow, flaws and all, to share and grow my gifts to the best of my ability. I am here, unapologetically so, because so much in life for far too long has stood in direct opposition to my right to take up space in the world.

Prevailing notions of culture, society, and certain judgments from familiars and strangers alike have repeatedly told me I am unworthy, undeserving, unlovely and unwelcomed to be my natural-born, wildly bright and beautifully creative whole self.

Honey Help YourSelf is me helping myself. It's a path of honoring my inner wisdom and moving with it. It's me digging out from under old, layered stories I don't find much use for anymore. It is my declaration that living well is a matter of choice, because I know my own growth is as much an option as it is a process.

It's not so much about having the answers as it is about pondering the questions that engage me. Questions like: What can I learn? How well did I love? Where's my courage? Does this really matter? What's my next move?

It's by no means a one-sided conversation. Come join the dialogue, honey.
