1. Even in captivity, when I was being held hostage out in the desert, no running water, no shelter from the sun, wind or rain, if I could get my hands on a little water to wash my face, it would work wonders for my spirits. Just a little act of normalcy would reset my entire mental space. Now, I go take a long shower and put real clothes on if I need to pick myself up. Even after all these years, I can find gratitude for the warm stream of water when I’m feeling down. 2. It’s a cliche, I know,

The number one regret people have at the end of their lives is not living and speaking their truth. Not letting the world know who they really were, who they really lived, what they really wanted to do, say and think. This tume, this group of 20 women said, “Hell NO!” And they wrote their hearts out not just for themselves, but for you, too. To show you that you aren’t alone. To show you how good it can feel to finally say the thing that needs to be said, aloud. If you are seeing this and thinki

✨ They told me I’d never go home. ✨ They told me my life was over. ✨ And the only thing my kidnappers told me that actually came true… was that I would write a book. What they couldn’t have known was that writing would become my way of surviving survival — and my way of helping others do the same. 📚 Since then, I’ve published: • Impossible Odds (New York Times Bestseller) • Deserts to Mountaintops Series (anthology) • Pilgrimage of Motherhood (anthology) • How to Survive Survival (upcoming) …an

2025 was filled with so many ups and downs. We’ve been in the DC area for nearly 13 years now, and for the most part, we’ve been very happy. My husband has loved his job, I’ve built a company I am proud of, and our kids have been deeply rooted in our community. However, with the admin change and the dismantling of certain government agencies, it became clear our time here was coming to a completion. We were scared about next steps, worried about our future and how we were going to provide for ou

1. There were times when I so badly wanted to just be inside. Away from the wind. Out of the sun. Protected from the rain. I got tired of waking up drenched from the morning dew or having to endure long nights awake, worried an animal or snake was going to bite me. But ultimately, I decided it was better than the alternative. Being thrown in a hole somewhere. Being kept inside where the air was stale and still. There were moments when the beauty of the desert left me speechless, and I could find
