Free Feb. 28th event hosted by Lezlie Laws, who writes: Our February Creative Momentum Gathering is going to be extra special. Charlene Edge is a former student of mine who has just published her long-awaited memoir called Undertow: My Escape from Fundamentalism and Cult Control of the Way International. Now is that a title, or what???
Charlene is a remarkable woman and has a remarkable story to tell. I would love for you all to be there to hear not just her story of being in a cult, but her story of becoming a writer who is able to boldly express her experience. It’s an amazing story of a young woman who wanted to be closer to God, and found herself enmeshed in intrigue, deception, and mind control. How she found her way to freedom is fascinating, and the writing of that journey is equally as fascinating.
Join us for the FREE event, on February 28 from 7-9 p.m. at Cocina 214, Winter Park. Come early and eat some tacos with me if you want! You must reserve a seat, though, so let me know if you can make it. The room is filling up quickly!”
This month I expect to open my website http://www.truthandtrust.org and initiate starting to write online MY STORY. There is a reason why I am doing this in a public fashion. In fact, one of the reasons is the reality that I have lived to be able to tell the story of my life of just about nine decades. My hope is by unfolding my life experiences I might give hope where has been fear, pain and despair. Working title is INSPIRED BY TIMOTHY. Perhaps you too may be inspired by Timothy, my hand puppet of about 33, going on 34 years. I found him in a Beach Drive gift shop in St. Petersburg the winter of 1984.
