Fantastic. Naming it all so damn clearly. There are so many excerpts here to pull out and read again and again as mantra. Funny that the line that moved me the most was the one where you describe the circle of ‘girls’ talking in pairs. I could feel it, ‘finally exhaling after decades of holding their breath.’ It suddenly felt easier to find our way back even as I know there is so much healing to do, each and every one of us. Like you say the wound is vast. And I see a way home.

Mmmmmm that’s an especially potent image for me too Lisa—the hum of the house and breathing together…it still lives in me. Thank you for letting me know you’re here—breathing with me.

Excellent! Thank you for initiating that all important circle of women and their girl-selves... inviting all of us to join in xx
