Ta-Dah! The Beginning of The Church of Wild: I Read to You

Because it is where The Church of Wild began,

because I want to face who I used to be,

because I hope my journey can help even one person be braver,

because I want you to be able to listen to this story as well read it,

because I want to read to you, you right there, where you are, where I am, sitting on the couch in my living room in the best possible lighting arrangement I could manage, wearing mascara and trying to look just a little bit thinner (don’t we all?), crying at some parts, having a small panic attack in the middle of it because holy god this is scarier than I’d imagined, facing my old, scared, guilt-ridden, panic-stricken, hides-it-all-behind-a-smile self, the one who wrote a whole book trying to cope,

because of all this and even more, I am reading my first book, The Oat Project: How I Faced My Fear and Came of Age In One Wild Summer on Facebook Live, every night at 7:30pm MST, until it’s done. The videos will be uploaded to the Church of Wild YouTube channel afterwards. I’ll be talking more about the Church of Wild on the second video, on 1/3/19. Thank you for walking this path with me. Here we go! love and hugs to you
