As occurs quite often, Jennifer, we are attuned. The book I am currently writing that details the evolution of a modern Medicine Woman, is a form of memoir, but it is also an historical document about the rise of the movement for natural and home birth that I identify as a movement for women's healthcare leadership. I am on a roll with this new genre that weaves memoir with historical documentation, and I am very pleased to see you refer to it as I have been curious if others are aware of it.

Wonderful to hear about your memoir, Stephanie! Yes, I have been studying, writing and teaching memoir that "aligns the personal, political and planetary," in my lexicon, for many years, with a particular interest in women's memoirs--the focus of my PhD dissertation. Cheering you on!

This is in line with my new life approach: joy as a radical act. It's good to know there are so many others tuned to the same frequency. Vibrating together for long enough, loudly enough, we will shake up the status quo!

Thank you, Jennifer. I imagine circles and circles and circles of light of all sizes, the power of the light, the creative light of each person, linking one circle to another and another and another. Each action taken is light energy into this world that is longing for grace and reimagination.
