This post is late because it’s my birthday weekend and I was celebrating. I did want to share with you a new idea I’ve had recently that I’m excited about.
Since I quite teaching public school in 2008, I have wanted to write a memoir. But I could never come up with a good angle. This week, I got an idea. As you know I love stories. Well, my memoir is going to be about what it means to be a woman, about love, and how those and other things have affected my life. It’s still in the formative stages at this point, but I have read and watched lots of movies and TV shows where women play pivotal roles. Surprisingly, many of the stories are classics with women who decide they are not going to give in and live conventional lives.
I’ve been looking back at my childhood and how having a working mom influenced me to a very large degree. She probably would not have said that her decisions, or life was unconventional. She was just doing what needed to be done to help support our family. But working outside the home gave her confidence, and purpose beyond the regular household chores.
I’ve started compiling a list of movies, books, and TV shows that have taught me great lessons, and already the list is way too long, but it’s encouraging to see that even when women didn’t have many rights, there were authors writing characters who managed to circumvent convention and push the boundaries of what a woman could do, even if it was make her own decisions about who she wanted to be and what she wanted to do.
The other thing I’ve started doing is an audio blog for Apple Subscriptions about stories that I’ve seen or read that I not only thought were fantastic, but that touched me emotionally. After all, it’s when our emotions are touched that we get a shift in our thinking and learn something new.
That’s all for today. I’m nearly caught up converting my Story-Power episodes for YouTube, only ten more episodes to go. That will free up some time to work on other projects.
I will be a guest on about three, or maybe four podcasts in the next couple of weeks thanks to PodMatch. I’ll post the conversations here as well as my Story-Power episodes.
Have a wonderful week ahead.
Blessings,

Rita Gau’s review: Recently, I finished reading a book titled, The Space Between Time, by my friend, Lucinda Sage-Midgorden. It was the best book I’ve read in a long time. It kept me captivated, which I have not experienced from any other book for the past couple of years. I loved all the little gems of meaningful and what I call spiritual statements throughout the book. You know, those words that make you pause and think, and sometimes have an “aha” from or a deeper awareness about something. And it was entertaining and informational about some of the history in the 1800’s and yet, contemporary. It also reminded me of the importance of “living in community” and how important it is to help one another and be engaged in your community. Thank you Lucinda for a wonderful, entertaining and captivating book!
