For more than a decade, I journeyed into the hearts of women from many ages and walks of life. I have often encouraged women to record the wisdom of their experiences: their deepest thoughts, feelings, musings, and lessons they’ve learned. I surprised most with my request to write, and almost all whom I asked were willing to experiment with this idea of capturing their first thought on a subject. They found voices hungering for a deeper form of expression. Their joys and frustrations and humorous and wise insights mirror the experiences of many. This book of shared thought invites you to listen to your own heart voice and experiment with your own first-thought writing.
“We don’t often write from the heart because of fear—fear of visibility, vulnerability, and criticism. Instead we write cryptically, hiding our authentic thinking. In reality, our thoughts about our lives and learning—the things we ponder and notice, and the depth of wisdom that comes from our experiences—all this, and the story of our lives, contribute to the record of the world. Our life’s star didn’t blink momentarily and then die. We were here, alive, and visible. We worked, entertained, suffered, learned, laughed, loved, rejoiced, and wrote about it. These generations of women need to tell their stories and share the deep feelings of their hearts, not so that younger ones can necessarily follow the same pattern. Rather, so they can see that we value our lives, our voices, and our thoughts enough to record them.”
