Sandpapered Soul

In her debut book, Heidi invites you into her journey of healing through poetry, and the guidance of a voice that only revealed itself to her in her darkest hours. Through this gift, Heidi received, recorded, and transcribed these nuggets of wisdom, transforming her own trauma into love, forgiveness and compassion. Now, for the first time, she is sharing the words that led her through despair and out to the other side of healing.

This book is divided into sections, capturing each integral part of her journey through the discovery of more. When confronted with extreme adversity, some may be too weak to carry on, but she found that through her suffering, she was redeemed within the essence of her own truth. Without experiencing this darkness, she would not have risen to meet her own soul. Within the pages of this book, Heidi pays homage to her channeled wisdom, recognizing that these messages can be universal to one's own healing journey, and that it’s never to late to be found again.

As Heidi once explained,

“The last few years have felt like harvest season- literal blood, sweat, tears. No rest until I can solidly land in my truth. Grounding my soul. Harvesting to find my soul. I have an image of my soul being in the ground; the fertile earth surrounding me with rich nutrients of me, but by lack of intent, I let a dense crop of weeds grow aimlessly all around me, over me, within me, and through me. Too weak to properly harvest, I eventually, or essentially retired. I gave up. I’m grateful my ground somehow revealed itself just enough to see there was hope amongst the chaotic overgrowth.”
