HI Peter:
PLEASE send me your blog and your memoir and a link to both for me and others. “Breathing is not optional” is me. If it’s what someone else has said, I will quote and attribute because that is SO IMPORTANT. I don’t know why people don’t do that more. However, it’s always best to check just to be sure and I can provide a bigger context if there is one or it matters. Anyhow, I’m so glad you enjoyed the Alaura O’Dell talk. I was nervous but it was fun. I look forward to learning more about your life and work. Cissy

Thanks for all you are doing, how beautifully and sensitively you talk about your life and all of ours.
In the greater scheme of things, we’re in the same field. I write, teach and blog about “memoir and mindfulness,” not as specifically trauma related as yours, but very similar basic message. I have memoir out, King of Doubt – happy to send you a copy, if you’d like (let me know format) … and also would like to quote you in current book I’m writing, but unsure whether sayings like “Breathing is not optional” are yours original or if not, from whom, so I can credit correctly.
I’d be happy to exchange blog posts if you’re interested.
Again, thanks for all you’re doing and being. Peter
