1. Everyone, I mean Everyone, has a story to tell.
2. People just want to be heard.
3. Writing really does heal, if you look for the lessons in even the most painful experiences.
4. Despite the naysayers, those who call memoirs "confessional" or self-absorbed, they are as popular as ever. People love to read about how others deal with life.
5. Memoir and personal essays are my favorite form or creative writing. I always come back to it.
Writing my story has been THE path towards healing for me. I call the lessons "the beauty of the pain." I have decided to put all of my writing in one place - maybe it is a book - maybe not. It is not the destination that is keeping me going, it is the journey!
