Author Description

The Ships We Sail is a soul-nourishing collection of symbolic stories for anyone standing in the sacred space between what was and what's yet to be. These lyrical fables speak to emotional truths-grief, self-worth, resilience, the quiet ache of becoming. Told through animal archetypes and elemental metaphors, each invites readers to pause, breathe, and listen inward. You'll meet a red fox learning to let go. A lion leading without apology. A spider discovering her own beauty and self-worth. Not stories with tidy morals, but rememberings-the kind that land softly in your chest and stay. Included are gentle healing rituals, an animal symbolism glossary, and reflection prompts, creating a reading experience that is nourishing, interactive, and reflective. This is not a book about perfection or arrival. It is for those still unfolding. Still healing. Still softening. You don't have to be ready. You just have to be here. __________________________________________ This book is for you if... You find comfort in quiet wisdom and language that lingers. If The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse sits on your shelf-not because it's cute, but because it knows something. If you've underlined passages in Big Magic, wept over a page in Braiding Sweetgrass, or flipped open The Book of Awakening on the day you needed it most. If you're drawn to gentle stories with symbolic animals, elemental metaphors, and soulful truths that whisper rather than shout-The Ships We Sail will feel like coming home. It's for the unfinished soul. The soft one. The strong one. The one still becoming.
