Venous Returns is about the slow work of returning to yourself.
Venous return is the medical term for blood flowing back to the heart, the circulation that keeps you alive.
This blog is about emotional circulation.
Coming back to center.
Returning home to your body.
Finding your way back when life pulls you apart.
These are essays from hard seasons, ADHD spirals, and ordinary Tuesdays. I hope you like them.
