“Be yourself; everybody else is already taken.” Oscar Wilde I've been thinking about authenticity and what it means to live life from your true authentic self. I know, a pretty heavy topic, but these are the kinds of things I often think about : )
Laurie, I resonate with so many of the sentences you shared here. I look forward to reading Junkyard Girl...thank you for your brave writing. I'm so grateful our paths have crossed.
What you said about “shared”memories being so different is so true. I like the way you resolved it for your memoir. Really looking forward to reading it in its final form soon!
How your words resonate with me today. Thank you for putting this so beautifully into words. We get to own our stories and our truths. These truths may not be shared by others, so we wrestle with our recollection, our knowing, and speak for ourselves, not others. I can't wait to read your book!
Beautiful, Laurie! So good to hear that you are editing your work and reflecting on it, creating new work and essays like this as you move forward. Keep us posted when Junkyard Girl is going to be published. I am routing for you and for it!

Well now I am eager for your book to come out.
Seems to me that truth can be subjective based on the individuals memory but to your point …it is YOUR truth !

Thanks, Laurie. Good stuff. I am glad you went through what you did so that we get to experience the you that lives today. Beyond good and decent.
