I Think Of Myself As

To Share Our Stories Is Not Only A Worthwhile Endeavor For The Storyteller, But For Those Who Hear Our Stories And Feel Less Alone Because Of It.

Imagine If You Succeeded In Making The World Perfect For Your Children What A Shock The Rest Of Life Would Be For Them.

I Believed My Story Would Be Helpful To Young Women My Daughter's Age, Who Are Still In The Process Of Forming Themselves As Women, And In Need Of Encouragement To Remain True To Themselves.

For A Parent, It's Hard To Recognize The Significance Of Your Work When You're Immersed In The Mundane Details. Few Of Us, As We Run The Bath Water Or Spread The Peanut Butter On The Bread, Proclaim Proudly, "i'm Making My Contribution To The Future Of The Planet." But With The Exception Of Global Hunger, Few Jobs In The World Of Paychecks And Promotions Compare In Significance To The Job Of Parent.

I Think Of Myself As A Realistic Writer, Not A Creator Of Soap Opera Or Melodrama.
