About the the Blog & Us

MadeOf represents a collective of voices and perspectives. We have had a variety of journeys and identities but we have at least one thing in common - we are all trauma survivors. Hence the 'Made of Sorrows" part. And we have all done a lot of work and gained some wisdom.

 

This blog is a place where we will share thoughts, insights, questions, stories, creations, and visions. We are all wounded healers and we all acknowledge that all we share is part of a process so don't expect anything perfect. We are all growing and process with each other as we do. 

​

We wanted a space to talk about some things that are important to us but don't seem to get expressed in our daily lives. These include stories, truths, silly stuff, tips and tricks for live in this zany world, and we believe that you can't build anything new without imagining it first - so some visions, too. 

​

We want this to be a safe place, so we will remove anyone who is being harmful to others, disrespectful, or circulating falsehoods or otherwise giving some pain. About that - trauma and trauma healing will come up as topics but we are not therapists nor can we count on any particular blog visitor being one so please do not share trauma stories here, particularly ones that could trigger folks, unless they connect to the topic being discussed and are fairly brief, and no one should feel obligated to offer deeper emotional support in this setting.
