Goddess Chronicles

Needing some inspiration/motivation/reason for a 40 hour work week and not go on welfare...
Oh...and a big big LOVE for teenage girls and what they have to say about how they see their world..
I officially started Goddess Chronicles. The metal box is for submissions. The Big Purple Notebook is for accepted and printed up submissions.
What to do with these?
I wish I could get some permission to make a blog to share with whoever was interested. There are so many privacy and GRAMA issues (I think that's the acronym). When I get this going outside of my place of employment though...watch out! NO MORE CENSORSHIP.
I will say that one of the writing prompts was to talk about how love works in your life (there was an eloquent quote on an affirmation card but I'm too lazy to find it for this writing) One of my girls came to me to trade in her love card..something I was willing to entertain if the card didn't jive at all with the girl. I told her to work with it pretty please. "Fuck love" she said. Since we had talked privately about love gone wrong, I told her to start her paper out with that. "Write fuck love as many times as you need to in as many sentences and forms as you need to and maybe you will find your way to a good love place", I told her.
She did as directed...but did not find a good love place.
Yet.
WORK. IN. PROGRESS.
