Mary Dyer Poetry

perseverance at work as she continues to welcome the principles of coaching in to her life.  She says her ‘go-to’ tools are breathing, imagery and reframing thoughts.  I see the message for others is how Mary has found a safe place, through her writing, where she can travel on her own and find a welcome respite to her physical and emotional pain.”
