The more we strip ourselves down, the more potent life becomes. Having the courage to unearth our individual truths leads us to the sacred space of an open, peaceful and loving heart, even in the midst of controversy and challenge.
While navigating through unforeseen death, the loss of her baby boy, cancer, and a miraculous birth through surrogacy, Julianne Haycox found herself nudged closer and closer towards a spiritual connection to her heart and soul. As she turned inward and stepped back out into the natural world that she loved most, she discovered that within this sacred silence were the answers to what she needed to heal and unleash.
Valeria Teles interviews Julianne about her book Conversations with Grace which she shows that the most important aspect of our lives is how we show up each and every day, whether we are enveloped in divine miracles or entrenched in adversity.
Julianne Haycox is an abstract artist, photographer, lover of all things in nature, and a curious and fearless traveler. She is the author of Be Still and Know, a book filled with her photography and meditative quotes and Conversations with Grace (Koehler, March 2020), a book of inspiration and personal growth.
Born in the suburbs of Detroit, she made a solo move at age 17 to Virginia behind the wheel of her timeworn Volkswagen Bug. The bumpy but miraculous ride of her life commenced in Michigan and sustained to the shores and through the years in Virginia. She never backs away from a challenge or trauma because experience has taught her that miracles are always on the way.
Julianne lives in Virginia Beach, VA, with her husband and daughter. She graduated from Old Dominion University where her love of writing was ignited.
