Today I am releasing a personal project I’ve been working on behind the scenes for quite a while now. Arguably for many lifetimes but in all honesty for what feels like only a moment in time.

I guess if I were to describe this segment of my own SOULworks, I’d say that if an individual’s journey could be neatly summarized into one playlist, this would be mine. I call it HOMECOMING. And although I have yet to make it all the way through to the ending, today marks the formal introduction and arrival to the beginning of my story as narrated by its authentic author 😉

To date, I have recorded and posted Chapters 1-23 of my unique storyline, which also happens to be the entire contents of my original first book Activating your SOULworks: a healing journey. The book was written within a few time-warped weeks way back in September 2012. Originally published many moons later on January 21, 2014. Reprinted under my own brand of SOULworks Publishing on July 14, 2018 (arguably the first day I officially stood up for my life’s work while beginning the long, drawn-out process of reclaiming my voice). The entire book and original formats were eventually pulled out of print in the summer 2024 while amalgamated into its final resting place within the pages of my completed SOULworks Trilogy: HOMECOMING published on July 31, 2024.

Regardless of the process it took to formally arrive at this moment in time, I’d have to say the aspect I am most proud of is not the fact that I am still standing (which I am btw, and perhaps a true testament of my own faith and tenacity for damn sure), but more so that I am still standing behind my original teachings and written word.

Today, I am most thankful for the opportunity to share my story. Regardless of how far my voice may carry or how many eventually hear the words contained within, I will know within my heart of hearts that I took the time to experience, contemplate, and authentically tell my own story. Truth be told, it has been an incredible personal growth and healing opportunity of divinely inspired unfoldment well worth its weight in gold.

With all my love,

Lauren Heistad
