Following Eve's advice

Cape Meares Lighthouse, August 2010

Cherish your solitude.
Take trains by yourself to places you have never been.
Sleep alone under the stars.
Learn how to drive a stick shift.
Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back.
Say no when you don’t want to do something.
Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees.
Decide whether you want to be liked or admired.
Believe in kissing.

– Eve Ensler

*This quote comes to me unbidden at times. It's one way that I know I need to be listening to my own voice, and ignoring everyone else's.

That Eve...she's a wise woman.
