Audre Lorde Quote & Test

I looked around when I was a young woman and there was no one saying what I wanted and needed to hear. I felt totally alienated, disoriented, crazy. I thought that thereโ€™s got to be somebody else who feels as I do.
โ€” Audre Lorde

This is a public service announcement to bring you this awesome quote by poet Audre Lorde, but also to test my email subscription service which has been having glitches for the last month. I apologize if you subscribed to my blog but haven’t been receiving new blog posts. If you received an email with this post, please do me favor. Type “Got it!” or something like that in the comment box below so I know you received it. Thanks!

    Got it!

    Also, what a great quote. Pre-covid, we had some friends over for dinner and drinks, and as the conversation unspooled, I said something I was afraid would sound crazy: “I kind of believe in alternative universes, and sometimes I wonder what I did wrong to end up this Trumpian, global-warming denying, violent, shitty world.”

    Eliza said, “Yeah, I wonder that too sometimes.” She was skeptical about the alternate world thing, but nonetheless strongly related to the feeling.

      Glad you got it, Edgy, and I couldn’t agree more with your confession at your dinner party. I sometimes wonder if I’m living in an alternate universe too. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Lizz Zitron, College Professor

The Contenders is the middle grade novel you’ve been waiting for: diverse characters who are funny and real. Eunice and her friends and family feel so real–they are flawed, kind, complex, a little mean at times, and just wanting to find their place in the world. Highly recommended for every middle school collection.

I’ve done my fair share of personal finance reading and, well, Rebel Millionaire is probably the single best thing I’ve read. Why? So effortlessly simple and effective. As I’m about to turn 31, this is just the nudge I needed to start saving and investing for my future. Thank you, Peg, and Plaid Frog Press!

What I love so much about your writing is how personal it is. It gives me permission to accept and love my own humanity, while also giving really helpful tips and mindset shifts, and next steps too.
