Writer's Notebook
"Life is a growing expedition through the tangled unfilled-in parts. What happens after age nine? Because of the fear we don't trust our own life? Our story? Our colors? To be afraid and leap regardless- there is so much power in that. We must show up for our own life. Be brave. Be messy. Be loud. Be strong. Trust yourself."
