Life Update: Poetry Book Cover Reveal!
Normally, when I disappear for a bit, it's because life is heavy and I'm not in the space to write or create. But this time was different. I finally finished my poetry book. What's more, I have a publication date! May 29th :) I reached a stage in my journey (as I'm sure all writers do) when I was sick of my book. Sick of talking about when it would be done.

Life Update: Poetry Book, Upwork, TikTok, Spring Chaos
The Spring Equinox is here! It's time to focus on getting out of the winter slump and finding the parts of us that must come back to life. My amazing Soul Care planner tells me that this is also the time of year to make my dreams a reality, and honestly, it feels like it! I like the idea of doing some informal blogs here and there. I'm not always going to have something to teach or a story to share, but sometimes, I want to spit out some of the things going on in my life—just

Shell Sherwood is still alive.
Life has been a little chaotic lately. When I say lately, I mean for a while. When I say for a while, we’re talking for a few years now....
