Seena Frost has released her new book, SoulCollage ® Evolving, available on her website or at a discount through me. It gives great new ideas for using SoulCollage ® cards and combining them with other self-discovery techniques. On page 30, the book includes a photo of my Writer Card and my story of meeting Alice Walker and having her sign my card.

September
The September 2010 (vol. 5, no. 9) online issue of The Neter Letter, published by SoulCollage founder Seena Frost, used my Writer card as its Featured Card. This included my story on how I met Alice Walker and had her sign my card. Some of this account appears on my website in SoulCollage stories.

The website Daily Oasis, which displays a new SoulCollage® card each day, published my Gratitude card from my Council Suit. I feel honored to have this card and its sentiment (”I AM ONE WHO is grateful for the love in my life”) featured on such a significant day, which people traditionally associate with grief, loss, and trauma due to the deaths from the attack on the World Trade Center.

“Writers who’ve inspired me: a SoulCollage homage”
My entry in a juried art exhibition, titled: “Writers who’ve inspired me: a SoulCollage homage,” features six SoulCollage® cards from my Community Suit and accompanying dialogue that I wrote to each writer (Mark Twain; Anne Frank; Maya Angelou; Helen Keller; Opal Whiteley; and Deena Metzger).
The heading included on the piece is “Bring a voice to what lies hidden.” In my view, each of these writers has shared wisdom and addressed aspects of life, from social and political hypocrisy (Twain) to sexual abuse (Angelou), that would often otherwise remain unarticulated. This theme fits with my own in my memoir-in-progress Love Among the Lingams: Twenty Years Healing a Family Secret.
