The Story Continues...
Experience Song of the Cardinal on a deeper level through a gentle
guided experience for anyone navigating loss and wondering...what comes next.
Welcome!
I'm so glad you're here, because I have something exciting to share...
Writing and publishing Song of the Cardinal has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve often found myself at my desk, in tears, reading a heartfelt message from someone who was touched by the story.
As those messages came in, a common thread emerged:
“I didn’t want the story to end.”
Honestly? I felt the same way while I was writing it. So much so that even before the final sentence found its way onto the page, I knew there would be a “Second Verse.”
But I also felt that something was asking to be created now… before that next chapter is written.
So I created a way for the story to continue—
in your life… in your heart… in your soul…
or in the heart and soul of someone you love.

Or to share it with someone you love.

The Cardinal Connection
A five-part guided experience of healing and discovery
Song of the Cardinal isn’t a book about what grief does to us—it's a book about what we do with grief.
This experience was created to gently continue the journey…from navigating loss of any kind to discovering what’s possible on the other side of it.
At your own pace.
In your own space.
Session 1 - Loss & Grief
We begin by gently acknowledging what has been lost—without minimizing it, fixing it, or rushing past it.
It can be the loss of a loved one, a relationship, your health, or a dream.
Through story, reflection, and music, we create space for honesty… and for the simple but powerful realization:
✨ You are not alone in this.
Session 2 - Signs & Synchronicities
In this session, we explore the idea that love continues beyond what we can see.
Without asking you to believe anything specific, we open the door to noticing—moments, signs, and experiences that may already be present in your life.
Through story and shared reflection, you may begin to see things a little differently…
And come to see and feel that:
✨ Love lives on and the world is supporting you in ways not apparent before
Session 3 - Permission
Grief changes us. But with that change, something often quietly emerges.
In this session, we begin to explore that shift—not by forcing meaning, but by noticing what has already begun to take shape.
Through reflection and guided questions, you’ll be invited to consider what your experience has revealed or awakened. And we allow space and time for you to to give yourself permission to explore that.
✨ Not in spite of your loss… but because of it.
Session 4 - Creative Curiosity
There are things we carry that words alone can’t always describe.
In this session, we open the door to expression—not as performance, but as release.
You don’t have to be “creative” to participate. You only need to be willing to explore what wants to come through you. And in that expression, something begins to shift.
✨ A little more clarity✨ A little more light
✨ A little more you
Session 5 - The Rest of Your Life
At some point, the question becomes:
✨ What now?
In this final core session, we gently step into what’s next.
Not with pressure.
Not with expectation.
✨But with intention.
From Darkness to Light
These five sessions are rooted in the quiet threads that run through Song of the Cardinal.
They are here to offer you:
comfort…no matter where you are in your journey.
You don’t need to have answers.
You don’t need to be “ready.”
Just have a willingness to be present
and to take the next step
one moment at a time.
