Back On Top: Denial, Dominatrix and Divorce

Sun 01 Aug 2010 12:51:34 | 3 comments

Last week I had the honor of talking with a roomful of amazing women … courageous beyond belief and scared down to their bones -- often at the same time. These women were beautiful inside and out – but many of them forgot to remember that. They were sassy and sensitive, kind and kick-ass, vulnerable and heroic, smart bordering on brilliant, and yet each knew the feelings of regret, mistakes, denial.

My favorite quote from Kristen Jongen: "Perhaps strength doesn't reside in having never been broken ... but in the courage required to grow strong ... in the broken places."

Jongen's book, "growing wings," is an inspiration, and well worth the laughter and tears it brings.

Thanks for the feelings that surface in this piece, Ginger ...
