‘“Will it help me forget?”
Such a question, I have pondered it often. Do we merely distract and numb ourselves with stories until the pain subsides on its own? Or is there some way that this thing we often call amusement, literally without thought, burrows its way into our souls and actually helps us make sense of the pain?
“Not forget, I think, but endure…”’
‘Nightfall in the Garden of Deep Time’

Every life, every story, every insight is unique. Imagine no two snowflakes and no two fingerprints are the same and then tell me why you haven't told us your story.
I'm here if you need help getting started.
I went from never having written or even being in a play to standing ovations and awards, terrified and nearly frozen before every step.
But still, I told the story, crying real tears while sharing it.
Then people told me it touched them. Made them cry, laugh and cheer. My tragedies and triumphs help others endure.
How is your silence helping others? Could the main reason we're here be to live our story so we can help others by sharing?
I'm here if you need help getting started. Maybe you start off by coming to the Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival's Empowerment Weekend.
