Journalling helped me to slow my brain down and allowed the solutions to become apparent more readily. It helped me look at my rage and deal with it in a healthy way. Writing helps me face my fears and my demons as I travel through this life. Writing provides the clarity that I need to move forward.(less)

Yes, indescribable fear came up for me because I was writing my autobiography, a book about leaving the family religion and being shunned by my family, including my own children. My shift was too great for them --- or me --- to handle. My discomfort was more than I realized it might be and I became overwhelmed. Fortunately, I was working with a therapist at the time, so I had a support system in place, to deal with all the emotions that I was experiencing. I was willing to face my fears as they arose in me. I needed to come to a place inside myself where I could feel safe and explore those frightening feelings, tame the wild thinking, and realize that I had all the tools inside myself to cope. Overall, the process was "healing" deep wounds that I could not have healed without facing those fears.(less)

Jane Eyre

By Charlotte Brontë Jane Eyre is a story about growing up and coming of age through adverse circumstances. I suppose my fascination with books about unwanted children is the result of being one of those incompatible children myself. At the age of ten, Jane Eyre starts out at her snobbish aunt’s mansion called Gateshead Hall, […]

Arundhati Roy
“Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness – and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe.

The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling – their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability.

Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them.

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
Arundhati Roy, War Talk

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
Kevin Alfred Strom
