Welcome to Beautiful Things Grow Here

A space for emotional healing and self-growth through poetry, storytelling, and reflection.

I’m Debra, a poet and author, and this newsletter is my labor of love. It’s a reflection of my journey through grief, chronic pain and childhood trauma. Here, I write about breaking toxic cycles, reclaiming hope, and finding beauty in the messy, imperfect process of growth.

What You’ll Find Here In this space, I share:

  • Personal essays

  • Reflections on healing from trauma and breaking generational cycles.

  • Insights into living with chronic illness and finding strength in vulnerability.

  • Poetry that captures the emotions of pain, resilience, and rebirth.

  • Tools and resources for self-reflection, growth, and healing.

Why I Created This Newsletter I know what it feels like to carry invisible wounds and wonder if healing is possible. I also know the power of words to comfort, inspire, and transform. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing space where we can explore life’s hardest moments and learn how to grow something beautiful from them.

Who This is For This space is for anyone who’s walking their own healing journey—those grieving a loss, confronting past trauma, living with chronic pain, or working to break free from toxic patterns. If you’re searching for encouragement, community, and tools for growth, you’re in the right place.
