Genshai

as written October 23, 2010 for HOYH (In)Courage. I saw this play on words, and it resonated with me deeply. I believe strongly that any emotional work that we do requires an incredible amount of courage, and facing our own demons and pain and sitting in the trenches of our own hearts takes more strength [...]

Identify With

as written October 17, 2010 Someone’s phrase today amazed me: “Compare yourself OUT, or identify yourself WITH.” Separate, or create intimacy. Pull away, or pull towards. I’m better than (comparison). Or identify WITH.

Brazen Demands

as written October 16, 2010 1st… I’m having a hard time accepting the silence while I FEEL something big going on under the surface, and it’s making me all sorts of verclempt.

Unveiled

as written for HOYH September 26, 2010 Too often, and for too long, we women are unable to see ourselves as we truly are. For too long have we looked outward from ourselves to everyone else around us. Too thick becomes the veil surrounding who we really are. And as we have come to know, we cannot [...]
