The completion of my latest book brings about many emotions. The life we pour into words on a sheet of paper can sometimes give movement to new perspectives, new questions. Through this recent journey I grew as a person because the fear of being misunderstood had to be overcome, and the goal of saying something of significance had to take precedence over merely stringing sentences together and playing it safe. Seeing my words on a page is still quite surreal to me because it reminds me of that child, who loving words so much, never imagined doing so much with them.
