Reblogged from wisdom within, ink: New Writing and Wellness Center Opens By: Joanna Young, Reporter for Wisdom Within, Ink Rutland, Vermont: In the midst of Rutland City, there is a tiny haven. It stands behind a fence on a residential street and started life as a garage. However, it now heeds a higher calling. The [...]

For redefinition, I was thrown back to myself, to my inner knowing… Marilyn Sewell, Cries of the Spirit The Authentic Voice Project: Week 7 (Full Moon) G is for God I’m cheating this week by letting others speak for me. I came across this just two days ago purely by “accident” – the timing was [...]
Authentic Voice Project: E is for Evil

The Authentic Voice Project: Week 5 (Full Moon) E is for Evil In my opinion the most evil word in the dictionary is, well, evil. It bites, slices, crushes; it infects, sickens, kills. I believe this word is too often thrown around where it doesn’t belong. It instills fear of rejection and shame in those [...]
Trust the Process (part 11): Re-turning
Posted in Emerging Voice, Journaling Techniques & Prompts on February 15, 2012 | 2 Comments »
On the eve of my fourth residency at Goddard College as a IMA-TLA student (Individualized Masters in Transformative Language Arts), I am sitting on the upper level of a gym as my son and two dozen other miniature humans are noisily jumping, swinging, rolling, and springing below me. Might as well be another planet from [...]

I realized with discomfort that my last Authentic Voice Project post was in itself Inauthentic. I chose a safe word to explore. I shied away from tackling a true “trigger” word. I again silenced my voice out of fear of rocking the boat. I realized the hypocrisy of this and now I must fix it [...]

The Authentic Voice Project: Week 3 (Full Moon) C is for Contentment Ahhh, contentment. Society says: Contentment is swinging on a hammock while staring at the sky. It is walking along a beach, hand-in-hand with your love, golden retriever bounding by your side. At least that’s what the commercials would have us believe. But most [...]

The Authentic Voice Project: Week 2 (New Moon) B is for Belly I considered many “trigger” words for this post: Behavior, Body, Beauty, Blame, but I settled on Belly because… well, I have one. Society says: A woman’s belly should be flat; nay, concave. Low-rise and skinny jeans (practically the only type you can find [...]

The Authentic Voice Project: Week 1 (Full Moon) AUTHENTIC VOICE As we are beginning with A, I will take a moment to define Authentic Voice as I understand it.

For redefinition, I was thrown back to myself, to my inner knowing… Marilyn Sewell, Cries of the Spirit Words. Manifestations of our thoughts. Creators of our internal messages. Words have and continue to shape history and people – not always positively and sometimes with devastating consequences. Words have an affect on us, more powerful [...]
