emerging sideways

http://emergingsideways.blogspot.com

this is an anonymous blog. it started that way because of necessity. i felt trapped by the church into silence as an opinionated woman. now this blog is anonymous by choice.

i'm still learning to own my voice. many of you know who i am. i am not hiding anymore, but i am still trying to tune the instrument that is my voice. sometimes it seems like there is only an 'on' and an 'off' switch. kind of like a fire hose. that's what happens when silence is enforced on those who need to speak. so, please bear with me. i'm finding my voice, i'm learning to own those controversial things about myself in public. it's taking a lot of courage and practice. i know they will both come when the time is right.
