This is for anyone who needs a reminder that they're not alone. This spoken word piece is from my second poetry collection, Hope and Other Beautiful Things, a book about wonder, resilience, and choosing light. This piece was originally written as a note to self, but became a message for all of us: a soft place to land when the world feels heavy. May it offer hope, gentleness, and the reminder that your light is still here.

Book readers: this is the audio-only bonus from the end of the book.

If you're just discovering me, you can learn more about my work via my Instagram and Substack below. The re-release of Hope will be forthcoming in summer 2025.
