Twenty years ago I had a major brain change. I didn’t know how to move forward. It was like I was stuck in a time warp. Then I started writing. First mind mapping and then stories and then book after book. Characters filled my mind with hope and delight as memories and scattered pieces of my life were woven into a pattern that led to understanding my true self.
Although writing was therapeutic for me it wasn’t until I began editing my work and getting them ready for publication that true healing and understanding took place. I was healing an injured mind. Putting together Humpty Dumpty pieces of me.
As a small child who was not in a safe environment growing up I lived in a fantasy world. Then later when dreams and fairy tales didn’t for me work anymore. I shifted to being a Pollyanna, taking care of everyone but me.
Now as a grandmother I delight in how my stories and books and all the hard work I have done has touched the lives of so many others, especially children.
I told a group of students during one of my author’s visits that…
Writing Has Power to
Change the Unchangable,
Move the Unmovable,
and Cure the Uncurable.
