p.o.w.~desensitizing & minimizing fears

i think i used a form of this cognitive therapy ~ Exposure & Response Prevention ~
{its inception probably introduced by my marriage/divorce counselor}
with my fears {financial, relationship, creative, social} to start desensitizing myself in 2007.
and to this day, i look these phantoms in the face,
i don’t avoid them or
run from them or
become anxious by them.
It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.~Virginia Woolf

saddened: SU2C’s Laura Ziskin succumbs to breast cancer today

Laura’s comments in the book WOMEN WHO RUN THE SHOW are a brilliant foreshadowing of what is already starting to occur; i think sooner, rather than later, her prophetic statement will become an actuality… i’ve been aiming toward it for a long time, and i’m beginning to feel it.
Thanks Laura Ziskin, Your Promising Words are Forever Etched on Women Filmmakers’ Dreams, Hopes & Heartfelt Truths~snb
