This is awesome, my darling. I feel we are so in sync! My Monkey is called Madam Fraud! I'll write about her soon. I love your monkey approach! Thank you for such a beautiful offer.
Ooooo, thank you so much, Marianna 🥰 I'd love to meet Madam Fraud! Perhaps this is the topic of our collaboration? I'm doing live video interviews on Creative Healing. Wanna? (I seem to mainly do collabs with Eurofriends! Time zone can work)
This is really good, Christine! Can I say the candid photos of you with the monkey just cemented who you are and what you're about? I loved that. So happy you are approaching trauma recovery with humor and honesty--and in community. That's so needed.
Christine, thank you. Reading your words felt like stepping into a clearing in the woods, where someone has lit a gentle fire and said, “Come sit. You’re safe here.” I felt seen in ways that bypass explanation—just that deep nod of recognition that says: Yes, I know this terrain too.
I’ve been walking my own kind of 120 stairs lately—not always to a sea, but to that brave edge where I try to show up, even when the monkeys chatter and the ground feels unsteady. Your voice is like a lantern for those of us who are both weary and wildly hopeful.
Your reminder that self-trust grows in the tending, not the arriving, really landed with me. Thank you for naming what’s messy, wiggly, weird, and real. Thank you for loving us through the stumbles, and for showing how fierce love can also be soft and wobbly.
To all the Mostly Brave Creative Souls out there—I see you too. Let’s keep walking, singing, stumbling, and showing up anyway. Let’s grow wild together.
Hi Christine. You're so brave to be friends with the monkeys and to listen to the whispers of your heart. I enjoyed reading your article. I would love to show up for you!!
