Hello! Here is The BRAVE Interview for this month. ENJOY!
I guess it’s not the biggest thing anyone has ever done, and of course many have already done it, I am sure. I am an introvert in many ways. Going to work everyday in sales is a challenge for me, as many people are not very nice, as this society has changed so much. I brave going to work everyday, and holding my composure to many that think that the world revolves only around them. I used to work part-time, but now I am full-time, which makes it harder and sometimes tiresome to trudge through the day-to-day occurrences. Retail is not easy, and it’s not my dream job, but I get through it. Keep reading

Hello and welcome to the next in the series of The BRAVE Interviews! It’s the Who, What, When, Where, How, (and sometimes Why) of YOUR ‘one brave thing’!
Welcome to Interview #4 with Kristen Conley Leighton!
- WHO are you? Share whatever you want to about yourself personally.
Wow, so we’re starting with the hardest question! Most days, I’m not really sure. That statement can be traced back to the day I was born. See, I was switched at birth. Truly. I was somehow confused with another baby girl born at almost the exact same time. The next morning, a nurse arrived in my mother’s room with the wrong bundle. “That’s not my baby,” my mother said to her. “Go back and try again.” Keep reading

Hello and welcome to my new series: The BRAVE Interviews! It’s the Who, What, When, Where, How, (and sometimes Why) of YOUR ‘one brave thing’!
We are kicking off the series with Kathy Eliscu, author of the wonderful book, Not Even Dark Chocolate Can Fix This Mess.
So, let’s get started-
Me and Kathy at the Falmouth Library, 2016.
- WHO are you? A: I’m Kathy Eliscu. I’m a retired RN (from an injury) and have been writing freelance columns for decades. I have a 7-year-long running humor column in Maine called “Lightly Roasted” and am the author of the humor novel “Not Even Dark Chocolate Can Fix This Mess.”
- WHAT is your One Brave Thing (so far!!) for 2016? A: I had been scheduled for a brief reading from my book but asked if I could share some of my “serious” unpublished material and was given the go-ahead.
- WHEN did you do it? A: This was in May of this year.
- WHERE did it occur? A: At the Local Buzz in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
- HOW did you make it happen? A: Well…I opened my big mouth and asked.
- WHY did you do it? A: I’ve been working on some serious material for a couple of years but felt very insecure about it. I wanted to push myself to try it out. It just seemed like the right time to take a chance. And I got very good feedback on it, so now I feel I have the impetus to continue to do this kind of work as well as humor writing.
Thank you so much, Kathy!
Kathy’s wonderful book (which I read and loved!) is available on her website: kathyeliscu.com and at Amazon.com.
