Long Story Short May Newsletter

	Hi Writing Friends!	Long Story Short Newsletter Happy Mother’s Day!
May, 2011 – Issue 95 Editors Corner Linda Barnett-Johnson – Dear reading and writing friends. I would like to send my prayers and condolences to all those that were affected by the floods, storms, and tornadoes. Wow! It has been a scary time. Please know that I think of you and hope that you are all right. You will continue to be in my prayers for recovery and faith. Denise Cassino – We’re finally getting winter in Colorado! Snow most days for the last week and a half- but I’m not complaining – it’s bringing much needed moisture. Our little candytufts are poking their lacy heads skyward and the anemones are proudly displaying their lavender petals – spring must be near! Happy Mother’s Day everybody! Amy S. Pacini – May is a beautiful month to recognize and honor all the wonderful women in our lives as we celebrate Mother’s Day. Mothers are natural caregivers who gently guide us and patiently perform selfless acts of love, kindness, and compassion. They generously offer a helping hand, comforting shoulder, listening ear, warm hug, and beaming smile to everyone around them. Whether they are near or far, show your love and appreciation for your mother with a phone call, surprise visit, special dinner, flower bouquet or a heartfelt card. In remembrance of mothers who are no longer with us, we honor their cherished memories and beloved spirits which shall always dwell in our hearts. Let us also reverently pay homage to our U.S. soldiers on Memorial Day who died serving our country.

If so, how useful are the comments you receive? How can you make the experience more productive? Can you hear comments on your work objectively? If not, why not? How can you make yourself less sensitive and thereby, more objective? Now, take something you’ve written a while back and edit it as if it were someone else’s work. Can you be objective?

Breakaway – “What a Story – Unreal Abuse!”

BREAKAWAY: How I Survived Abuse by Nadia Sahari

"I can’t recall in recent memory a more hard-hitting and poignant story of how a woman struggled to overcome abuse." Dear Friends, My friend, Nadia Sahari has written a poignant and heart-wrenching book about surviving abuse and never losing hope, but instead thriving beyond surviving. Nadia Sahari’s book, Breakaway: How I Survived Abuse is that book. She says, "The experiences I share in this book are all true. For many years, I felt alone with my history of abuse and held my silence. I thought I was the only one who had experienced the traumatic abuses I describe here. Gradually and cautiously, in small groups and in speaking engagements, I began to share some of my experiences with other women. To my surprise, I found that many of them had been victims of sexual or physical assault as well. They often said, ‘Nadia, you went through so much. My life hasn’t been anything like yours, and yet I’ve struggled to cope. You’re such an inspiration to me! You should write a book. I’ll bet they make it into a movie.’ http://bit.ly/bwUdW6 "It has not been easy to take their advice. It has been challenging and sometimes devastating to revisit and relive the pain and suffering of my past, to resurrect scenes of violence, to recapture deeply hidden emotions and to put them into words. The journey took me through many dark valleys of depression during which I could not be productive. That is why it has taken almost twenty-five years to produce this book. Now is the right time. It is right because more attention must be paid to domestic violence and sexual abuse in America. We can no longer be silent witnesses to the daily oppression of innocent victims whose lives are devastated by abuse." It’s available now – don’t miss it – it will inspire you and you won’t want to put it down – http://bit.ly/bwUdW6 Plus, if you buy it today, you’ll get other bonuses donated by Nadia’s friends and colleagues! It’s just $7.99! Contact Us.
