At minute 26, I burst into tears. The suggestion that we not only invite our "Governess Dread" to the table, but thank her for her service that helped us survive childhood and served in whatever survival-necessary capacity she was born for...but then ask her to quiet down, because we (our conscious, adult, ambitious, hopeful selves) have got this now... Wow. Those are life-changing words. Thank you, Ann, for them. And thank you, Cathy, for introducing me to so many wise people and helping me cry (in a good way) on a pretty regular basis these days.
The answer to the question at 45:50 is forgiveness. This is how you leave the crucifixion of others behind while you stand in the resurrection, untouched by attack in any form.
I was awake when I shouldna been. Anxious. Scared, even. Well, exhausted and deathly afraid, if we're going to be fair to CZcams comments. Not like I could just go to the book store - no 24 hour bookstores round here. Nor the library either. My library is closed anyway- a woman who cleans offices and libraries at night was murdered at the library and so it's closed. The online book tools are still a little foreign to me but I tried. Dusk, Night Dawn. Ambitious title, but Art & Lies destroyed me so who knows. Thank you. If I ever remember who I am or why, I want to describe it just like this.
Anne Lamott! Still have my copy of Bird by Bird. Bought it when it first came out. Loved every word if it. :)... Beautiful interview. Excellent advice to make time for writing because you will get better, and you will feel better. :)

What an inspiration. I’ve heard of her but not read her books. Will rectify.
