Tell me the tales of your travels...
I deeply value the moments when I am sitting still with a client, allowing time and holding a tender space for sharing. Honoring the places you have been and the things you wish to rise above - that is my service to you. Thank you for trusting me with your story.
Tell Me the Tales of Your Travels
by Jane O’Shea
Tell me a story
Tell me your story
Tell me how you got here
The roads that led to this moment
Take me to the crossroads
Show me the paths you chose
Walk me along your treasured tracks
The tough mountains you have crossed
Show me the signposts that pointed the way
And the dead ends that left you almost defeated
And along the way, show me your summer picnic places
where happy memories still sit in the sun smiling
Share with me your secret places
where you sheltered when you were lost and adrift
Tell me, of the people you loved and have left their sweet mark
and the ones whose harshness hollowed out your heart
Recount to me all your stories
So I can know
what it was that made you.
Why some things soften your face
and others catch your breath and your eyes say no
Tell me the story
Tell me your story
