Reply To: I declare I love writing

[Jackie Rusalka]

Since I was a child, writing has always been the lense through which I could understand the world, and a salve.  A tool to sooth.  A conversation with myself to build perspective. Like an ongoing memoir. Recently receiving a cancer diagnosis sharpened the idea for me of writing as a window for others to understand what it means for me to be alive… including  my own unique long journey to become the woman I was born to be. And if I’m really really  lucky, to be able to leave something beautiful behind in my wake.
