Book Writing: Day Seven - Jenn, Avital and Corwyn come to visit!

Avital, Corwyn and I on the adorable bridge to the Cowper house

• This is April 9
• Checked e-mails in the morning. Most of the women I e-mailed have responded. Most of them don’t understand why their story is ‘worthy’ of being told. It is amazing to me how humble these women are. We are so ‘programmed’ to think about certain people as being ‘something’ and others not depending on our type of position, work and/or level of ‘success.’ We have lost the belief that we have intrinsic value, and that life and the world does too. We work for value, but it is false. Because the truth is: we have value, period.

• Avital and Jenn (and Corwyn – Avital and Chris’ new baby boy) came to visit today. I went and picked them up from the ferry

• It was lovely having them on the island. They are wonderful, trustworthy friends and the best company. We shared a meal of grilled cheese (with aged white cheddar and rosemary) and salad. We sat and talked with Matthew’s mom, Karen, when she returned home. I think she enjoyed the girly company. :)

Here are some pix from our visiting day:
