to the moon and back:
a childhood under the influence
Share the Hope
Lisa Kohn’s memoir of being raised in and torn between two conflicting worlds. There was the world she longed for and lived in on weekends – her mother’s world, which was the fanatical, puritanical cult of the Moonies – and the world she was forced to live in during the week – her father’s world, which was based in sex, drugs, and the squalor of life in New York City’s East Village in the 1970’s.

Coming clean #2 – The body keeps the score
I’m coming clean and going open and vulnerable again, in case it helps someone else. It’s again about my body, but this time it’s about body release. After my cancer and chemo, I started on various health journeys and found various health practitioners to support me....
Coming clean #1 – Ode to my flat chest
People thank me for being so open and vulnerable – in my blog posts and especially on LinkedIn. I live by “we’re only as sick as our secrets,” which I first heard in Al-Anon decades ago. I know (believe) that every time I share something that’s unguarded and personal...
