In Some Of The Darkest And Hardest

I Was Cast In A Movie [originally] Called Mr. Spreckman's Boat, Starring Marcia Gay Harden And Jennifer Connelly. I Felt Like An "actress." Both Of Them Have Won Oscars - Maybe That Means I Might One Day.

My Mom Didn't Adhere To Any Of Those Typical Rules. She Woke Us Up For School Every Morning, And Was There At Dinner Or Would Call At Bedtime. She Never Left For Longer Than A Week. She Recorded While We Were Sleeping.

I Am Learning Every Day To Allow The Space Between Where I Am And Where I Want To Be To Inspire Me And Not Terrify Me.

Here Is My Wish And My Desire And My Pledge As Well: That We Remember Our True Nature And Our Womanhood. That We Own And Know That We Are More Than Our Bodies And Yet Our Bodies Are These Sacred, Beautiful, Rhythmic Houses For Us.

I Want To Be Awake. I Want To Choose Kindness, Live & Let Live. I Want Joy, Gratitude, And Peace Today.
