OK, here we go!

 I have struggled for years with writing this memoir.  I got the idea in 2001, but wasn't interested.  Then I started in 2013, but again . . . 

This past February I began, but I thought my focus would be on my whole life journey, as I tell it in 12-Step retreats.  I wrote for eight months before I got that the story that moved people, the story I need to tell for myself, is about the pivot from being a professor writing on queer politics to becoming a nun, and a priest, and then forming a new community where all of these parts of me can come together.  So here I go.  I've begun writing parts of this, but they were buried in a lot of other writing.

This past week I found another writing group and a coach to work with.  I'm afraid, but not overcome.  I hope you all will find something in what I write, and tell others if you find it helpful.  And tell me!
