This is awesome.
This is only the beginning… 🙂
I love this Kim. Especially since I am in the middle of a similar struggle, not so much with voice as with the confidence to use it.
I’ve been talking to friends about how these things work in both directions – confidence in the writer’s voice informs confidence in life and vice versa. I think one of my takeaways from all of this is that there is no separate “writer” me. It’s all intertwined – being afraid to use my voice at all just avalanched into a confidence disaster! Your voice is wonderful Erna!
Oh, Kim. What a mountain you’ve climbed after falling into that dark valley. This is beautiful, brave, post — a gift to others who have lost their voice or their way. Thank you. Peace.
Ah, Betty Jane – it is such a gift to be heard. Thank you for your kind words. I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes a person brave. I want to be that person. Onward I tumble – she’s out there somewhere! 🙂
Beautiful post, Kim. I’m very glad you’ve found your voice again. I’ve missed it.
This is really an incredible post Kim. May your courage inspire others who have lost their voice. Thank-you.
Keep going, keep going, keep going. Because I want to hear more. I’m glad you found your voice again.
What can one say, except , you are exceptionally brave…and your voice is important , “sing it out loud”…so many others need to hear it…and will gain strength from just knowing someone else is going through similar struggles…so very proud to of you Kim, and especially honoured to , call you FAMILY! xoxo
