Pamela,
I am so sorry for your trauma and equally as sorry for the shame. I don’t need to know the details to know it’s been hard.

Sea glass and drift wood too ARE such great metaphors for the beauty in supposedly broken or damaged things.

14 years in Africa has to include some amazing stories, experiences and memoir I would think… Thanks for your support and I too enjoy the dialogue and appreciate your feedback, links, support and all that YOU offer exactly as you are now. And to say that, I do not mean to dismiss or diminish any of your losses, just to say that I’m glad to meet the you of today and to hear from you.
Cis

Very inspiring.

My trauma was, in the end, neurological, and parts of my brain are simply missing from flatlining after an electrical brain storm in my early 30’s and have been for decades (which is deeply shameful to the parts that are still here, very high functioning and have taken me all over the world as a writer and media producer including 14 years in Africa). I love the work you’re doing and the title How to Live on Earth When You Were Raised in Hell is genius! Looking forward to the dialogue.
