Nine-Eleven Reflection

September 11, 2010

This post is inspired by Jonathan Fields’ 9 Years Later, The Air Still Thickens. Probably the first time I’ve read a post and all the comments through to the end…

I think the commenter Pete has a good reminder point for all of us who are practicing sharing ourselves through writing and shouldn’t be called an asshole for saying so.

Where were you?

I was getting ready for my wage-slave gig, in my master bedroom, with Good Morning America blaring through the big blue tube. I couldn’t see the TV but what I was hearing got me to stop what I was doing and look to see if it was real. I sat down slowly on the edge of the bed and watched. I immediately thought about my best friend who told me she was headed to NY and freaked out. Calling her hysterically, leaving “where are you?” messages.

Permission To Write

Or How To Scare Yourself Write to The Edge

I’ve noticed this thing, it’s in me and a lot of the wonderfully creative ambitious women I talk to everyday, this idea that we need permission.

Permission to be ourselves. Permission to follow our hearts & dreams. Permission to receive and allow in the giving from others. And when it comes to your technology and getting your blog on, spattering your web pages with words, with the juice of your heart and giving yourself permission to write. Permission to call yourself a writer.
