For Many Years Now, I Feel Like

I Would Rate The Fact That I Get To Be Alive A Big Beautiful 10. Satisfaction With Myself - Work In Progress.

But My Body Was Telling Its Story. I Have Read A Lot Of Stuff About Cancer. I Needed This Book. I Wish I'd Had This Book When I Had Cancer. I Wanted Someone To Be Talking To Me About "fart Floors." I Wanted Somebody Telling Me What It Was Like To Have A Colostomy Bag. I Felt So Alone. And If You're A Person Who's Been Traumatized By Past Abuse, It's So Potentially Re-traumatizing. You Slip Right Into "oh My God, This Is The Only Person This Has Happened To Before" Mentality: "i'm Especially Bad And I Have Especially Bad Cancer..."

Unless Men Are Active Allies, We'll Never End Violence Against Women And Girls.

I Think Many Of Us Get Separated From The Mothership - Our Body - Early On. I Think The Mothership Is Also The Earth, And Life Itself. Trauma Separates Us From That And Dissociates Us From Our Hearts.

I Honestly Never Understood How Violence Against Women Became A Women's Issue. 95 Percent Of The Violence Men Are Doing To Women.
