I finally decided to jump into these waters ... It's about time that I introduce myself ...
I'm Jocelyn ... a homeschooling/unschooling mama to 3, published author, teaching artist, expressive arts therapist/intermodal, artist, poet, EFT practitioner, and all around holistic person ...
In the summer of 2021 I started working on a multi media book about grief ... Then in September of 2021, both of my parents died 7 days apart in the hospital of Covid (technically I would argue the hospital killed my mom and my dad died of a broken heart, but that's a story for another day) ... well ... things have been trying to fit themselves back into places ever since then, literally and figuratively as we lived with them ... I normally wouldn't say all that in an introduction ... But it seems to be always in front of me ... not necessarily breaking me down ... but present with me ...
So ... I'm in a re-imagining phase ... Figuring out who I am again ... without the cloak of safety and limitations my parents afforded me ... Still working on my book on Grief ... but it's changed a bit since it's inception ... and I have another novel in me that wants to be given it's time ...
I also teach a lot of creative writing classes for kids and teens ... it keeps my pen on the page and I get so inspired by watching a young person break through their inner critics penetrating eye ...
I'm vegan ... as is my whole family, we are very holistic and my newest adventure is with an ao scan ... and learning how to tap into quantum physics to heal the body, mind and heart ...
My kids are amazing ... though they do try to take me down on a daily basis ... HA!
hmmm ... life right now seems simple and complicated all at once ... but I'm lean into the simpler side for the most part ... coffee, chocolate, beer and wine ... a good salad, music from the 90's, room to breathe ... comfort.
So ... with that ... Hello <3
