"hundreds of pages of writing.... written in order for me to hear my own voice on the page." Oh my Tonys, that is why I paint, to see my own voice. Thank you for this wonderful essay.

This is terrific, Tonya. Your thoughtful reflections on what it all means always resonate with me, and I'm especially glad you made the choice to not stay in a situation that was bringing such unhappiness into your world.

Such a touching story, Tonya, thanks so much for sharing your innermost thoughts. That drive was more than worth it; especially as your sister revealed to you the very secret to her happy life and her own happiness.
