Well, just as I cried tears of joy and sorrow, sometimes at once, when reading your memoir, the Ted Talk saw me welling up again and again. To the lemons we become!
Btw, you met my dear friend Ani on the Ojai Foundation property the other day. She spoke highly of the connection you made. It was a year ago now that I sent her your book, knowing she’d love it, too. What a small, wonderfully connected world. :)
Oh and looking forward to the prompts on home. Maybe something of it will end up being incorporated in a piece to be published here or elsewhere. I like your prompts and thoughts on how to go about them.
Holly this is such a spectacular message. Thank you! I had such a lovely visit with Ani and I’m so grateful to you for giving her the book. Thank you also for your kind and meaningful words about my book and talk. I so hope to read your own stories!
Thank you for saying so. :) If you're interested in checking it out, here's one of my favorite chapters from a memoir I'm serializing here on Substack--https://hollystarley.substack.com/p/baltimore-blue-finding-myself. (I'm also working on another from a different period of my life that I hope to find an agent for soon.)
Great narrative and concept, too, so well executed - congratulations!

I love this idea of always coming home to a place you want to be...physically and metaphorically. Watching your talk now - thank you!
Thank YOU!!!!! I hope the prompts help too. Even if you don't write but just think in response. xo
