This!!! Just as I start to dissociate from reading. You bring me right back to it- tht anger. Always there! It has kept me alive and will also be tht which ultimately takes my like~ I already know. Xo

Such a clear powerful vulnerable important piece. I feel like I say that about everything you write - but you do land those every time. But each work has its unique strengths built on that foundation. The excavation of anger has me thinking about my own relationship with it. This week has been a terribly hard one for me. Anger is in the mix. Thank you for your work.

I was so angry for so long. I can't anymore, not even with the world the way it is. I can get focused, determined, sad or frightened. Protective of myself and others, but for me, at least, my anger hurts me more than anyone else. I'm sorry you're going through something difficult. I hope you come to a resolution, are able to walk away, or make things right. You have so much light in you. 💕

Hi Jodi- such powerful writing. Brought tears to my eyes. In my own journey, deep sadness as well as fear has often hidden underneath anger. These revelations not only change how we see ourselves, but how we understand other beings, both human and animal. I really appreciate you sharing your journey with so much openness and heart.

Your memories and revelations are always so compelling, Jodi. Thanks for this latest. You're a true survivor (whatever that means but you know what I mean).

You can def. call me Deb!!! Deborah = way too formal. Debbie is good too. Just not Debby. (Do you have a thing about Jodi, Jody, Jodie?? I imagine you do.)
