Welcome Wild One

Real talk Love, A lot of blogs exist to bring in customers and drive business. And there is nothing wrong with that, a lot of blogs also help people and showcase beautiful work. This is not one of those blogs though.

Journey to Joy is my online healing journal. Yes there will be art, creativity, and a lot of joy. There will also be vulnerability, raw emotion, and at times uncomfortable depth.

This blog is here because I believe that one reason we go through the fire of pain, is so that we may turn around and lend a hand to the people who are directly behind us. Those who are exactly where we were a few steps ago, and who would benefit from a hand, so that we may walk through the fire together and come out the other side stronger and more quickly.

Another reason I am sharing my healing journey is that representation matters. My name is Kenzie. I am an Artist & Surface Pattern Designer. I am also Non-Binary, Demi-Sexual, and polyamorous (And damn kinky at that). I am a partner, a parent, and a warrior of joy.

I've been diagnosed with Complex PTSD and OCD. I've been on a healing journey for quite a while but my divorce in 2018 and a few almost fatal mental collapses in 2020 drove me to accelerate my healing. Since I've taken and graduated from a Leadership Intensive and started EMDR therapy. I'm still healing, and I don't know if I'll ever stop healing because that is life. But we evolve and we grow. That is the journey I am looking forward to sharing with you.

So, Welcome Wild One, I'm honored to have you here. Please know that you are worthy of love and Joy. And most of all please know you are not alone, we can all heal together ♥️.

Talk Soon,

Kenzie
