There are definitely loads of deaitls like that to take into consideration. That may be a nice level to carry up. I supply the ideas above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions just like the one you carry up the place the most important thing will probably be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged around things like that, however I am sure that your job is clearly recognized as a good game. Both girls and boys really feel the impact of only a second’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

I agree wholeheartedly with the comments regarding perspective and apprenticing.

I am currently writing a memoir. I’ve been working diligently to improve my writing ability and I feel comfortable that now is the right time for me to write it.

I can’t wait to check out this book – it sounds great.

Thank you for the valuable reminders as well as the reading tip!

You sound like a very wise woman. I, too, have taught in middle school…nuff said. Now that is suffering. Thomas Wolfe said it is not the blows we give that make us, but those we take. Best wishes to you on your writing. I’d be happy to be another eye on your writing if that would help.

A friend quoted this same bit from Wordsworth after she read the first draft of my memoir about a traumatic period of my life teaching in a poverty middle school. I see now that the first draft was cathartic rage and pain. Now I am on my third major draft, and with the help of a weekly writing group, not only has the caliber of my writing improved, but also the depth of its message. As many have said, it is much more about the freedom of forgiveness and the refining power of suffering.

Michelle, have you read The Memory Palace by Mira Bartok? She chose to write her book after her mother, who was mentally ill died.It is the story of an impossible childhood skillfully told. The writing is stellar and evidences much reflection. How else do you make sense out of such a mess? I used to teach middle school and had a very difficult class of low ability readers. One of the girls devoured A child Called It. It was the first book she ever read by herself.

Thank you

Amy Tan wrote her grandmother’s memoir. The Bonesetters Daughter. Facts somehow transposed into a parallel fictional universe.

Andrew – your thoughtful comments on this topic are intriguing. And you seem to know yourself pretty well on this point – and you know the power (both dark and light versions) of writing. I suspect you’ll also know when (or if) you get to a point where you can or need to go further. Cheers.

P.J. – what a wonderful story about your uncle and his sensitivity… and a burden no one should have to endure. Bravo.
