A few years ago Six Hens published my story, “Boundaries,” about my experience of sexual molestation by a minor. In light of the past week, and after reading the stories of so many women, I thought I would re-post the link here.
If all women tell their stories, the world is bound to change for the better.
What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open.

My latest short memoir piece was just published by Six Hens. This nonfiction story was very difficult to write and even more difficult to think of publishing. Called “Boundaries,” it’s about a time when my boundaries were invaded by someone else–and just at that vulnerable season of puberty.
It’s a glorious spring here in Arizona, so I snapped some pix of what I see outside, just to remind me when I’m inside.
All of these beauties survived the freezes this winter, with a little help from the humans. Hubby and I covered them with old sheets and freeze cloths every time the temperature dipped.
Starting to write again TODAY. Thanks for the motivation last week!!!
If you like the Arizona landscape, I do have a few poems that touch upon that subject in Doll God. Haha, I haven’t plugged my book in awhile!
