Heather's Blog

Heather's Blog

Hi, I'm Heather! Welcome to my blog where I share insights from my experiences with overcoming challenges.

Experience the details
I focus on details which highlight the beauty in the ordinary, creating gratitude for everything in life, even the struggles. This consciousness reminds me what I am living for, reconnecting me to my humanity, the joy of exploring this life, and my life’s meaning and purpose.

Discover new perspectives
I write about what living with Miller syndrome, hearing impairment, autism, and a genetic lung disease have taught me about myself and other people. My prose and poetry shed light on the meaning of life, relationships, diversity, acceptance and unconditional love.

Journey with me
Come with me on a journey through emotions that connect us all, the struggles and joys we all share, and the oneness of life. I hope my writings will influence how you see life, people, and most importantly, the relationship you have with yourself, leaving you forever changed. There is so much to live for.

AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL!

You give Love to Life, Wholeness to Healing and Joy to all in your willingness to be true to You and open yourSelf to the infinite wonder of You. Thank you for sharing such a challenging time and to give a way in which to experience and express a way of letting go.

Thane K.

BLUNT HONESTY!

I love Heather’s blunt honesty, her endless curiosity, her incredible perseverance, her excellent writing, her willingness to share her story, and most of all her attitude. She is an exceptional person who we all can learn from.

BEAUTIFUL WORDS!

I was whisked away into your world for a moment and all of a sudden the moment was over and I felt a bit sad as I was back in the world I live in, briefly part of the wonder of the world inside of you and the one going on on the outside.

Angelika F.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!

One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read. Truly. I love “words,” especially when they can put me in a place!

Kevin F.

MOVING AND AWE INSPIRING!

I’m moved and amazed by Heather’s writing. She writes with such wisdom and understanding, with such knowledge and awareness! I read her words with awe!

Enjoying the Beauty of Togetherness and the Sadness of Parting in Love
