Pain is inevitable, but not all pain is the same. Soulful and honest, Everything is Okay confronts and gives voice to two common mental illnesses: depression and anxiety. Because sometimes what we need more than anything is to feel understood, and know that hope and light are always there - even when life is at its darkest.
Sometimes I stare at the bottle. I know I need to take it. It will help. But the darkness has already crept in.
I've been practicing my craft for the better part of 10 years. For so long, publishing a book has been little more than a dream. I've nearly quit more times than I remember but here we are. I love to read fantasy and mystery/thrillers. I find J.R.R. Tolkien deeply inspiring, although let's be clear I am nowhere near as talented as him.
Some of my favorite books include Dracula, And I Darken, The Whisper Man, and Kingdom of Souls.
Stephanie Dunham is rapidly becoming a must-read author. This collection is really good. It's full of soulful poems, mantras, and little pieces that feel like they're for empowerment. I just love the style that this is written in. It's definitely a collection worth reading.
