Irene Allison said… Hi Bella, Yes, I'm publishing with SWP in June 2016. It's terrific to connect with you here. I'm still absorbing your wisdom about acceptance and the "fierce cauldron of the heart". I've been practising your exercise too. So wise, so beautiful! Thank you!

Michele J. Rolle said… Bella, such great tips. I really needed to read them. I have been procrastinating in working on my next book because it speaks to my journey as a mammographer. The life experiences of my patients have and are sharing with me are often filled with some horrific circumstances unrelated to their reason for being in my space , a mammogram. I appreciate your vulnerability and willingness to share. It will propel me into action.
Thank you!
