In the beginning, writing was purely my method of coping with loss and fear and even danger and hopelessness, but it has evolved into a celebratory expression of all that I am in any given moment. I do not hesitate to share and speak the truth of me because it took so long to come back to who I always was and am that now I just don't know how to be quiet. And, I wouldn't have it any other way.In love and wonder,Daphne ...more
