Why Do You Read What You Read?

I’ve always been a voracious reader, preferring hard cover books over paperback or digital, and marking them up with my own cryptic code.

During my midlife unraveling, I had a moment where I realized the hundreds of books that I had read over the course of my adult life reflected an unconsciously directed curriculum.

From everything feminist, to entrepreneurship and leadership, to spirituality, to depth psychology, I began to see how these books contributed to the lens through which I process life experiences.

I have to give credit to Fifty Shades of Grey – a book I would not normally have chosen – as responsible for setting me on a path that eventually led to my exploring women’s experience of reconciling sexuality and spirituality.

My first three creative writing pieces: The Fantasy, A Single Moment, and Unleashed, simply flowed out of me as if directed by what can only be described as Spirit or pure creative consciousness.

I had to work hard to finalize these pieces, but I just felt called to share the experiences that they seek to capture.

Wondering . . .

As I try to find more people who will be entertained by or receive some healing from my writing, I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOU!
