December, 2009 Update Update on the Book! I'm looking for an agent now, with four chapters completed and the other eight in good draft shape. I made some structural changes that I think you'd approve of, making it much more readable - I think it will be a good vehicle for discussion groups. It's all about how women interact with our inner voices, and how we can use them to help us understand what our feelings are trying to tell us about ourselves. And, oh yes, there's a new working title: Inner Voices: How Our Feelings Communicate With Us There's a little more information below. I'd love to hear from you, and I'll keep you posted! |

As you may recall, my work of Raising Healthy Voices took a surprising turn in recent years, when I started reading about the science of our brains. That's provided me with support and explanations for so many things I've discovered through my own experiences - about our feelings, and our relationships with fear, happiness, joy, as well as our interactions with one another. Now, I'm even more convinced that we have the power to live the lives we want for ourselves right inside us, as part of our biology. Here's a brief description of what's in the chapters: In the first two chapters, I'll explain fully my concept of voice and tell of meeting my inner voice at the depths of my despair after my husband Art died of AIDS. In each of the next several chapters, I'll examine a single instance of how my voice helped me with universal themes: interpreting my feelings; standing up to my fear; changing long-established behaviors rooted in childhood memories; and facing a truth that kept me locked in an unloving relationship. In the remaining chapters, I'll explore critical concepts, including: listening to what our voices have to say about the other people in our lives, keeping secrets, the importance of being honest with ourselves, and why we must give ourselves permission to be happy, and unafraid; addressing how women's social history of relying on external experts has created a bias in women against trusting ourselves; and, finally, offering my wish-list for a future in which humans will appreciate the value of integrating their natural, human skills with the technological ones we learn, creating a balance in our lives and the lives of our communities. As always, I'm out to prove that a human is an extraordinary thing to be! |
