I can just imagine this author hanging out with Lois.

     "Storytelling is healing. As we reveal ourselves in story, we become 
aware of the continuing core of our lives under the fragmented surface of 
our experience. We become aware of the multifaceted, multichaptered 'I' who 
is the storyteller. We can trace out the paradoxical and even contradictory 
versions of ourselves that we create for different occasions, different 
audiences.... Most important, as we become aware of ourselves as 
storytellers, we realized that what we understand and imagine about 
ourselves is a story. And when we know all this, we can use our stories to 
heal and make ourselves whole."

~Susan Wittig Albert~
_Writing From Life_


Is it any wonder she's one of my acid-test authors?  Even if you never 
write a word, this book majorly rocks, for the questions it inspires you to 
ask and the thoughts it inspires you to think.  I've been enthusiastically 
recommending it all over, since I first read it last year.

Enjoy!
