Welcome to Soul on the Rise
A space for Kimberly's poetry, podcast episodes, and creative prompts
Somewhere along the way while getting my MFA I heard this quiet whisper of a story. A story I’ve carried ever since. It said real writers only be shared their work through a professional publication. That self-publishing was inferior. That someone outside of myself must be the one to say, this is good; this is worth sharing. I don’t where I picked that up, but it came with a weight I no longer wish to carry. Life is too short to hold in art that was meant to exist as an exhale.
So, I decided to create this space to create. To share my podcast episodes, to craft exercises and creative prompts to help listener’s tap into their own creativity, and share my own poetry and personal essays when the timing is right.
I’d like to think of this as a virtual living room - a space where we can kick back with a cup of tea and dive deep, connect with ourselves, get inspired and create.
So, get cozy. Pick up some headphones and a pen. And if sparks something for you, share it with a friend.
