Writing
Write without pay until somebody offers to pay.
(Mark Twain)
I am a writer.
There. I’ve said it. I’ve claimed it. I mean it. I love it! I write because I can’t not. I write because there is so much I want to express, understand, explore, articulate, and invite – in others and in myself. I write because it is how I come to understand what I believe, what I value, who I am.
I write about the intersection of faith and feminism. I write about spirituality. I write about the questions and struggles and inconsistencies in my own faith, my own spirituality, my every day life. And I write to provoke, instigate, and even incite thoughts, feelings, movement, and belief/faith/passion in others.
I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at,
what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.
(Joan Didion)
So…invite me to write a GUEST POST on the risks and benefits of being an out-loud, truth-telling woman; on ways in which we can understand faith as something far different than what we learned in (and have since rejected from) church; on spirituality, on the Sacred Feminine, on the many things I’m passionate about: desire, hope, faith, and yes…passion!
Hire me to write an ARTICLE that takes on a spiritual or theological tenant in a new and inviting way; to rewrite a staid Scriptural narrative in a fresh, provocative, maybe even controversial way; to invite women into places of strength, desire, hope and truth-telling; to consider the integration of the feminism into realms of faith and vice-versa.
And, if all this weren’t enough, I love to help people with BLOGGING. I call it writing between the lines; thinking with you about what you I have coaching packages available in this realm; one-on-one work we can do together that help you write with an authentic voice, increase your readership, and enable your own growth at the very same time!
I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking.
It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.
(Anne Morrow Lindbergh)
Thank you for allowing me to express my anger, disappointment and very real doubts without feeling judged. Your writings have an amazing ability to touch my soul. Thank, you, Ronna.

…your writing is so inspiring to me. You are a masterful pot-stirrer, an insidious instigator, and if my soul had a butt, then you definitely kick my soul’s ass in the best way. (Bella, Twitter follower & friend)
