“The only question in the end is whether I can find and tell my inner story,
which is also my inner truth.” ~ Michael Meade.
What fairy tale, myth or story most resembles what your mother lived in her formative years?
This month’s podcast is a special early tribute to my Mom for Mother’s Day! In this podcast I offer a dramatic reading of the essay of the same title posted last Friday.
This podcast includes my mother’s story as a child, and its many parallels to the Cinderella story: absent mother, absent father, abandonment, perseverance, patience, kindness, birds, housework, stepmother, stepsisters, fairy godmother, the magic carriage, the dog, the dream come true....
It’s also how I got my name.
A video version of this reading is available for paid subscribers! The video includes images from the Little Golden Book version that captured my mom’s imagination and heart as a little girl.
