What felt like a millstone tied to me has now become a milestone. I was intimidated by the famous artists, authors and entrepreneurs who are normally interviewed on Hearts Art. That ugly voice that loves to haunt my thoughts was telling me that I was a fake. That I had no business going on there and trying to act like I'm "somebody". ( Read more... )

YAY! GO YOU!!!!

replacing those old tapes looping round in your head (gosh, showing my age - old discs spinning? whatever!) is sooo hard to do, but you sound like you had a breakthrough moment - YAY!!!!

mmm...I'd never thought about them being discs now, or maybe they're mp3's? lol

Huzzah, Zura! You kick ass - I listened to a few minutes of the interview as we were running out of the house - you sound adorable - and knowledgable! :)

You sounded just fine! You were very informative...

I didn't hear any of your "Texas accent".... I heard a woman that knew what she was talking about and had an accent...which makes you adorable! Of course, I have a bit of that accent, so I'm biased ;o) You are from here and you sound it.....but you didn't sound silly or anything (was that what you were worried about?)

By the way, I spent a few years in a trailer home myself.... lived in the country in East Texas....even have the memories of the neighbors dogs chasing our car every day and barking their little "trailer park" heads off at us!

Anyways.... You were wonderful! You go girl! ;o)

Michelle, thank you so much. Yes, I was afriad I'd sound silly or stupid. I'm glad you say I didn't sound that way. I got the biggest laugh out of the dogs barking their trailer park heads off. lol

Zurabeth, you have always been all those things that "they" are without losing your own uniqueness in the process. I've watched you continue to transform over the years we've known eachother. I think that what's happening is that YOU are finally seeing the YOU that the rest of us have seen all along! I'm so proud to know you and call you my sister/friend.

I can't wait to listen to your interview later this afternoon! It's the carrot I'm dangling to get me plodding through the things I have to take care of this morning.

love you bunches sweetie!

Luna, your comment really sent me into a mental journey. I was thinking of where I was both physically and mentally when I met you. I wasn't long out of the psych hospital, and was married to the maniac from hell. I was so scared to be in the group with you women. Remember? I was just a bundle of nerves. How sad. But halleleujah for women who love and encourage other women, or I wouldn't be where I am today!!! Thanks for the memories.
