Publications. What a funny thing. What meaning do we give this idea of one\u2019s carefully chosen words being received-blessed-printed by a reputable source? As if these written words are somehow more weighty or more valuable than words penned in correspondence to a friend, or a mother, a son. More credible than a spoken word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How might we publish our ability to listen rather than speak?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps this is not an \u201ceither\/or\u201d proposition. Aside from being heard and received, isn\u2019t the very point of writing to enter into intimate conversation, ultimately whispering to each reader, \u201cI hear you. I feel with you. I am in this with you. I hope for you\u201d? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My work has appeared in print countless times across a wide spectrum of genres\u2014mostly in collaboration with brilliant authors and academicians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, what a great and simple delight it is to discover my words carefully selected and presented in tandem–made all the more meaningful–with gorgeous photography in Bella Grace<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I thrill and dance with each publication! Each word is dreamed, honed and crafted for you, dear reader. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope you enjoy. And more importantly, may you be inspired to tell your story in whatever form serves it best. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Publications. What a funny thing.
