‘Connecting to Something Bigger than Myself’ in Heroica Magazine

I’m continuing to feel pensive about life and all things ‘the universe’ as I traverse the many ups and downs of life post-divorce. This essay emerged from a number of ruminations in my journal about the coincidences and seeming-fate-like instances that I seemed to begin noticing as life began to alter dramatically. I’m a staunch atheist, so this was something I found difficult to reconcile. Throw in an astrology app giving me sound advice at key decision points and what’s a girl to do but start questioning the world?

Writing this essay helped me to find some way of reconciling, and I’m so pleased to share that it’s been published by Heroica.
