Write Where It Hurts

God has used writing in my life in a powerful way. As a word-lover, an author, I’ve learned this, how sometimes we write for publication, yes, but how sometimes we write simply to reconcile. To uncover truths and connect dots in ways that sometimes aren’t possible until we sit quiet with the pressing questions.

Today, I’m passionate about writing as a healing tool. You’ll find Write Where It Hurts a connection point, an invitation to women and conversations that bring healing. We need that, don’t we? A place where can we can drop all the masks and cut through the hard stuff.

Come join us. In our online community here, you’ll find hope, encouragement, and practical tools along with a challenge to live intentionally. Pull up a chair. Grab a spot of tea, or your favorite java. Be encouraged and inspired as you connect with other brave-hearted women who have faced unfathomable trials with courage. Risk the writing challenges, and be rewarded with a fresh perspective of your own.

When the Holi-Daze Sneak Up on You

December 23, 2013March 7, 2014 Jo Ann Fore 5 Comments Write Where It Hurts

The other day I headed out to do some last-minute Christmas shopping.  Before long I was skirting around all sorts of tricked-out strollers, the little ones tucked comfortably inside looking all couture in their holiday best while their siblings ran excitedly alongside Mama. It didn’t take long before the ugly green started rising in my […]

A Holiday Prayer

December 10, 2013March 7, 2014 Sarah Knepper 2 Comments Write Where It Hurts

Lord, you know where my heart is this season. The healing you’ve done in me is tremendous and yet I still ache for what once was. My mind escapes to those childhood Christmases when my family was together. Those times when my Dad took us to pick out that real Christmas tree. When I would get […]

5 Things I’ve Learned About Community

December 3, 2013March 7, 2014 Sarah Knepper 11 Comments Write Where It Hurts

The devastating pain didn’t come from a distant place. Someone made a decision that was out of your control and you suffered more than you ever thought possible. Maybe your husband had an affair and left your marriage. Maybe you lost a friendship over hurtful words and confused feelings. It’s difficult, right? To face tragedy […]

Stress in the Season

November 26, 2013March 7, 2014 Sarah Knepper 2 Comments Write Where It Hurts

I turned our van on this past Saturday morning and Christmas music blared through the speakers. I couldn’t believe it. “It’s not even Thanksgiving yet!” yelled my six-year-old daughter. My sons ranted along with her and as Jingle Bells played I felt an uneasiness well up inside me. Does that ever happen to you? You’re […]

Giving Thanks for the Pain

November 19, 2013March 7, 2014 Sarah Knepper 9 Comments Write Where It Hurts

“I’m grateful my husband was an alcoholic. It’s taught us both about how to appreciate the normal things in life. ” I listened to the woman beside me speak at a local Al-anon meeting. How in the world can a woman be thankful for her husband’s addiction? I had just walked one of the most difficult […]

Finding the Courage to Change

November 15, 2013March 7, 2014 Jo Ann Fore 2 Comments Write Where It Hurts

  Courage. Augustine of Hippo paints it like this, “Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.” I offer it like this. A gathering of women, in a safe place, cutting their place […]

When You Step Away From Your Feelings

November 12, 2013March 7, 2014 Sarah Knepper 8 Comments Uncategorized, Write Where It Hurts

Sometimes thoughts get jumbled in my mind and I say things that mean just the opposite of what I’m thinking. Does this ever happen to you? I’ll be doing a normal task and out of nowhere a thought or word spoken triggers a memory from long ago and all I can focus on is the […]

November 11, 2013March 7, 2014 Jo Ann Fore 1 Comment Write Where It Hurts

  There was a time I hurt so badly I was certain I’d never get over it, a time when I based reality on those feelings instead of Truth. It was those times I bought into the lie I should bury my hurts, refuse to dialogue the pain.  There’s something that happens when silence hangs like shadows, when […]

I have my Christmas tree up. I thought that might be mine and my grand-daughter Lacey Jane’s lil secret until I was blessed with a visit from Sarah Knepper and her beautiful family, but even then I swore Sarah to secrecy because I couldn’t fathom admitting that I had my Christmas tree up in October.
