Simmons Two women's of genius speak in conversation in a charged and inspired way together. Wow! They got something going on together and we get to listen in. Also. This is the gist of my lifelong philosophy and work. Only other comment I need to say is people listen and enjoy. 2016/03/24 02:23:05 +0000 Comment by PaulineLamb beautiful💕 2016/01/12 20:29:56 +0000 Comment by Jasmin Evans OMG, i have firsthand experience with this! When i neglect my creativity, i get sick, mind, body, spirit. 2016/01/08 12:18:47 +0000 Comment by tracypepper Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us. I enjoyed listening to this so much as I've just come out of a 15 month writer's block!!! So much to say but the words frozen inside of me like a wooly mammoth in an ancient glacier. I am starting to melt and it's both liberating and terrifying. What will happen when the mammoth melts? Will it be a huge blob of hair and goo or will it come to life? Both options are terrifying like some horror film. But I'm going with another option... that the wooly mammoth is going to give people a story about who he was and where he came from and why he died so that we can understand why we live. I hope you will both read my book and one day, I'll see you at book tours too. 2016/01/05 22:20:42 +0000 Comment by Mirjam I feel very connected with you, women and LOVE it! 2016/01/04 16:51:09 +0000 Comment by Treavor Wagoner Enjoyed! 2015/11/13 16:57:03 +0000 Comment by Sophia Chang YES - "What would I do even if I fail?" 2015/10/13 00:31:25 +0000 Comment by Jody Gelb this is healing and inspiring. thank you. 2015/10/05 17:47:17 +0000 Comment by Michelle Maree The story of that little boy and his father's response to his art just broke my heart!
