Why join the campfire circle?

Because it’s hard to travel in the wilderness all alone. There is so much comfort in knowing that there will always be a spot waiting for you around this campfire with other fellow seekers and searchers whenever you need it.

This place of crackling respite and hand-warming hope is a perfect spot for anyone who wants to safely rest under some virtual stars while I spin you a story of two of my own adventures into the badlands of my heart.

It’s time to start sharing my art outside of social media

I have built my sand castle of poetry on the fickle shores of Facebook and now I fear a tide is rolling in that will make the terrain too inhospitable to stay there. Using Facebook as a vehicle to share my words with the world has been amazing, but I can feel the tent stakes starting to pull up out of the ground.

Basically, it was time to start to find a place to share my words somewhere new and less complicated for my soul.

I want this to be a campfire community where hearts can string themselves together like paper dolls.

Yes, that seems a bit Pollyanna - but it’s true. One of the best things about writing on Facebook was the real community I was able to accidentally build while sharing my words.

I don’t look at writing as a pyramid where, I, the writer, sit atop of, so I can pass my thoughts/dreams/poetry down to readers who are below me. There is no hierarchy in a circle. There is only one path that we are all on together.

This is all an adventure - and I have no clue where we are going - but I can’t wait to share my stories and heart as we sit around the campfire each time we gather around the fire.

Why you should reserve a spot Around the Campfire:

For paid subscribers, I will be posting at least 3 Around the Campfire Newsletters a month that will be packed with brand new poetry and some other little surprises I have in store.

I will no longer be putting my brand new writings on Facebook right away. These new words I am transcribing from the cavern walls of my heart will be here exclusively for a month for paid subscribers before they are ever posted to social media.

Free Around the Campfire subscribers will be offered 1 newsletter post a month of new writing.
