Working with a teacher/healer/shaman this morning, something rocketed into my consciousness that now seems so obvious I can't believe it felt like news.
I became a writer to have a voice, to be heard, to create a place where my feelings and thoughts mattered. (All this time I've thought it was because I just happened to like words.)
When I was a kid, family members constantly accused me of deliberately being "different," and as Barbra Streisand once sang, different was "another word for wrong." I quickly learned to keep my opinions to myself. Now that I'm in business with my sister, I'm still wrong whenever I open my mouth and so still keeping my opinions to myself as often as possible.
Except here.
Thanks for listening. It means the world to me.

What? What did you say? Speak up, I can't hear you.
I, for one, very much want to hear about the shaman experience. Do tell...
Yes, I want to hear about that, too. And more.
Screw your sister and her Goddamn orange walls.
(sorry, got a little protective there for a minute).
What I meant to say was....so glad you have a forum where you are free to express yourself, completely.
Love.
No, thank you for speaking. Don't ever stop.
I know the feeling, exactly!
