“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.” Marianne Williamson.

Book: Artfelt Inspiration: Let Your Freak Flag Fly

Catch the artist and authour Laurie Ritchie and I talking about ugliness and art. 

Sometimes, art is ugly because life frequently is. And sometimes, there's a gentleness to beauty that allows us to look at the things we are afraid of, and make the invisible visible.

I was thinking symbolically the other day that the last place you'd look for evil ("the devil" ... Not the literal devil you guys!!) would be in the peace and beauty of heaven. And, conversely then, the last place you'd ever look for God would be hell. I think that this is what art allows us to do.

This conversation left me with lots on my mind ... But don't worry! It's fun and playful too. I can't wait for you to hear it.

Elaine Thomas found herself drawn into an adventure that would lead her to speak to 63 WWII veterans in her community and write a book about it. In our conversation this week on the People Who Know Stuff podcast, she told me that in the United States, 100,000 veterans of WWII die every month.

LISTEN TO PART 1 HERE

Annette McGivney is on the People Who Know Stuff show for a really special two part episode. I spent a weekend exploring the layers of her intense and beautiful book Pure Land. What starts out as a straightforward murder mystery eventually transforms because as Annette says, “Ultimately I feel like the best stories are ones that turn back on themselves and back on the reader, and cause the reader to reflect on their own lives.”

Annette and I talked about her background as an award winning writer and a teacher, and explored how writing an article about the murder of a tourist for Backpacker magazine in 2008 ultimately led her to a deep and profound story full of layers, twists and turns. Then, the conversation detours into Annette’s personal experience with violence and PTSD. She shares her journey to become a healthy, whole woman (I share about my experience with PTSD too). She shared her knowledge about healing and how ultimately this has had led her to a life of gratitude and creativity. I was so appreciative of Annette’s beautiful writing and her book that was both thrilling and heartfelt. And it turns out that she’s just lovely and smart in IRL as well.

In Annette’s words, “Proceeds from Pure Land go to this cause which is a partnership between me, the outfitter Grand Canyon Youth and Northern Arizona University's Family Violence Institute. The Healing Lands Project funds wilderness river trips for child victims of domestic violence. We are doing our first trip for 9 kids next week!” Please visit http://www.iampureland.com/healing-lands.html to support children who have lost a parent to family violence to connect with nature, healing and hope for their future.
