let the fun begin...

Twit·ter·rif·icn. a fun mac application for Twittering.

some people come into our lives and go quickly =) some people move our souls to dance & they awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom <3 some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. some people stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same

"sometimes, i just want to hold your hand"

Excerpt: 'I'll Scream Later' by Marlee Matlin

April 14, 2009 6:59 AM

Actress Marlee Matlin opens up about her past in a brand new memoir. Matlin's book, "I'll Scream Later," highlights the Academy Award winner's life in the Hollywood spotlight as a hearing-impaired performer, as well as a surprising past spent pushing limits and defying expectations.

...makes me think of the 'golden rule', matthew 7:12. and yet sometimes it is the farthest from how we act, especially towards the people we "love" & cherish the most in this life. i had like troubles & abuse and had to find my own voice through it all. i felt lost. i got lost. woman to woman- it takes courage, strength from another place, a higher power to get through some days. i've lived minute to minute and worked up to day to day. and still slide sometimes, everyone does. one way to grow is by women sharing stories and talking about it out loud. no hush, hush!
