I bet you don’t think so. I bet you think they were just stupid.

But I am. Asking. I mean, I am going to ask. I am going to try to explain how it happened and how sorry I am.”

“She had been a storm that didn't move roofs, but she'd spent a year watching storms that did. Instead of striking off on her own, as she'd always done, she decided to learn to listen.
In spring, she went to Eilean Glan, and she listened to the old queen teach girls to heal.
In summer, she went to Ardbarrach, and as the bells rang, she listened to the value of order.
In fall, she returned home long enough for her mother to prepare for the journey, and then, as they rode around a new and fragile Scotland, she listened to her mother talk about peace.
In winter, she returned to DunBroch to think about all she had learned over the long, dark season.”

“My biggest lesson about writing was when I was a little girl and would overhear adults say "one day I will write a book". When I would see them again, sometimes several years later, they repeated the same thing, without any action towards writing their book. I didn't want to be like them and learned the basic rule of creating is to just do it. Therefore, when I wanted to be a writer, I did just that. I wrote and my first book and figured out self-publishing in 2010. It was a learning curve but also an amazing journey. Thankfully, the people I met as a little girl taught me this very important life lesson.”
