Transcending Mansfield and Nin






My two favorite authors, ancestors of my soul said:

"Risk, risk everything." - Katherine Mansfield

"The risk of staying tight in the bud is more painful than the risk it takes to blossom." - Anais Nin

I am grateful to these two great women artists who were honest, authentic human beings. They have experienced the anguish I should have experienced had they not left a legacy for me to learn from. Now I have wisdom because of them, minus the pain.

And so I plan to bring our tradition of pain into the next higher level of peace and joy, thanks to my discovery of Francine Rivers.

Dear Katherine and Anais, I promise myself I will now follow the tradition of Francine Rivers, a great Christian woman writer with a purified pen, of the Redeeming Love fame, with my unique voice inspired by the two of you.

From Francine Rivers' site, one can download study guides for her numerous bestsellers... another public domain treasures for everyone to enjoy and learn from.

What a great life this is!
