Welcome to Turning Pages, a weekly newsletter that explores life's big questions through personal essays, messy thoughts, and vulnerable reflections.
I'm Erin, your companion on this wonderful journey, and I'm glad you're here.
As a mother, rambler, and seeker of spiritual truths, I write to lay bare the wild and wooly truths of life, to turn over the stones of human experience and see what wriggles underneath. By exploring themes of vulnerability, identity, creativity, spirituality, and more, my goal is to engage our emotions and curiosity, to ignite our imaginations and stir our souls.
As a reader of Turning Pages, I invite you to experience raw emotion and explore some of life's biggest questions with me each week. In this newsletter, you'll find chapters of an ongoing collection that explores questions like:
What can we do to cultivate a deeper sense of spirituality and purpose in an uncertain and chaotic world?
How can we create a life that aligns with our values and passions?
What is the best way to balance parenting and being true to ourselves?
How can we stay inspired and hopeful during difficult times?
And more...
So join me, fellow seekers and dreamers, as we turn the pages of our lives and discover our own truths. Let's cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves, our world, and the mysteries within. Sign up below, I can’t wait to have you!
We're all in this together, so I hope you’ll share your thoughts and ideas in the comments. And please pass the newsletter on to others who can benefit from its insights and inspiration. Thank you for your support!
