Writing for Life

A collection of Author's work that motivates and inspires me. A gathering of Christy's original work for beholdher.life. Sometimes prose, sometimes poetry, sometimes just a thought that found it's way out of me. I write as a part of my self-care and self-love journey. I need to write to understand. I need to write for the peace it grants me. I write about things I think any woman, mother, daughter, sister, entrepreneur or human wanting their very best life would want to read.

beholdher.life's Inaugural Blog
This seed for this blog was planted years ago!When Seeds Are Planted: The idea for this project had been floating around and making small appearances in my mind’s eye for more than a decade. It was a variety of things; a t-shirt business, a handmade greeting card business, a self published book, a community based art group, a retreat, and more recently, a blog. www.beholdher.life #SelfCare #SelfLove #Motherhood #Mindset #MentalHealth #BlogPost
