Body Obsessed with Marcia Mount Shoop
Modern Day Flappers
Have you ever had the opportunity to have a long and deep conversation with someone who's book transformed your life? That happened to me when I interviewed Dr. Marcia Mount Shoop. Unlike the tragic movie The Fault In Our Stars, my experience meeting the woman behind the book was incredible. I was nervous but her gentle presence helped me relax within minutes. I continued to learn what it means to live my faith in my body or, in theology words, understand embodiment. Her book gave me poetry and prose to help navigate the issue of sexual violence on college campuses in my...

Season Two of Modern Day Flappers will be released in March of 2015. I am so excited about some of the women I have reached out to interview – but I am also thinking that I might interview a few men!
Now I’m going to talk about some of my favorite moments:
Heather Lefkowitz -- How do we make peace with scripts?
Emily: Have you experienced the tension between: “I need to not care what anyone thinks about me and I’m so desperate for love and connection.”
Lis: “La esperanza es que se pierde lo ultimo” – Hope is the last thing that you would loose.
Betty Nixon: We need to invite someone who disagrees with us!
How do you figure out your own style or voice? “Now I know what I’m supposed to sound like.” Have you had that moment?
Megan’s interview held the most surprises!
Carolyn German, "The status quo is allowed to step in and say 'you’re crazy.'" -- Breaking a stereotype: You get to choose who you want to be!
“Now I Become Myself”
Now I become myself. It’s taken
Time, many years and places;
I have been dissolved and shaken,
Worn other people’s faces,
Run madly, as if Time were there,
Terribly old, crying a warning,
‘Hurry, you will be dead before-‘
(What? Before you reach the morning?
Or the end of the poem is clear?
Or love safe in the walled city?)
Now to stand still, to be here,
Feel my own weight and density!
The black shadow on the paper
Is my hand; the shadow of a word
As thought shapes the shaper
Falls heavy on the page, is heard.
All fuses now, falls into place
From wish to action, word to silence,
My work, my love, my time, my face
Gathered into one intense
Gesture of growing like a plant.
As slowly as the ripening fruit
Fertile, detached, and always spent,
Falls but does not exhaust the root,
So all the poem is, can give,
Grows in me to become the song,
Made so and rooted by love.
Now there is time and Time is young.
O, in this single hour I live
All of myself and do not move.
I, the pursued, who madly ran,
Stand still, stand still, and stop the sun!
