I have had a stroke in early November and have aphasia - language is jumbled up in speaking or writing. You'll note my podcasts will sound differently, but it stills me!)
My name is Tara and I’m coming to you from somewhere near the Rocky Mountains. I like to see myself as middle aged but my chances of ever becoming a centenarian are very, very remote, so I’ve accepted that I have many more yesterdays than I do tomorrows. And I’m OK with that. I’m a collector of stories, both my own and those of others. Some are amusing, some are downright funny. Some are moving and hopefully, they all inspire you in some way. It is, after all, where our stories meet that compassion and community take place. When I’m asked to share a little about myself I say, I met my husband at a nudist park, it turns out he was a rock star and then I decided to become a priest! And people say you should write a book, I’m much too lazy to write a book. So. Welcome to You Should Write a Book ~ the Podcast.

Being Polite ~ The Second of Three Parts
***Trigger Warning***
(descriptions of sexual assault and partner abuse)
In the First episode in this series I talked about the lessons that I learned as a child. Be a good girl and always respect your elders. I also learned that my body was something I had and that men wanted - but had yet to learn how it all worked. This second in the series talks about how those lessons I internalized as a child lived themselves out as I moved into adulthood - and the results were not good ones.
It is important that you heed the trigger warning if you feel like hearing such descriptions might put you in a vulnerable place yourself. I'd rather have you well than have you listen.
For those of you who choose to move forward, let's continue the journey and find out the consequences of being a good girl...
