I pay attention as much as I can. I try to surround myself with other women with magical powers and a lot falls under the heading "magical powers."

The women in my family - my grandmother and my mother - have been both sources of comfort and terror. Protection was not always available.

Synchronicities fall under the "magic" heading to me.

My relationship with my mother has always felt like the most complicated relationship of my life. I know I have a lot more writing to do on this.

To me, magic is everywhere.

I'd like to imagine that "dreamoir" becomes a subgenre of nonfiction, maybe ultimately because I'd love to read many more dreamoirs by other writers - poets and memoirists especially.
