"I always thought that my work
in the church would be my legacy; perhaps, it is your project"
Nell
"I guess I feel compelled to share the story because
I know there are many women out there who may be in a similar situation
and feel hopeless as I have felt many times. Maybe some woman's life
can change after hearing my story and she can see that she was created
with tremendous value and that her very existence does indeed have a
very important purpose.....I always thought that telling my story would
make even Ghandi want to kill himself. But I am learning that I have
the power to heal these wounds." Katherine
"As a therapist, I have
listened to many stories and believe that if a person can find a deeper
story to tell, one less familiar and worn, less useful in maintaining
the status quo, then something might happen that we call change."
Thomas Moore in Re-enchantment of Daily Life
"It has led me to believe that what is most personal
and unique in each of us is probably the element which would, if it
were shared or expressed, speak most deeply to others." Carl
Rogers in On Becoming a Person
"If it isn't obvious,
most of what I write about is fleeting thoughts and images from occurances
(sic) and experiences that heavily impact my life and how it is lived...including
childhood abuses, overcoming drug, alcohol, food addiction and looking
for deeper meaning to my life and experience in the place that I am
currently at (NOW). Hope that helps some. Hope what I sent can be helpful..."
Becky
"When we share, we learn;
when we listen, we understand; and when we preserve, we affect change."
