About the Creator
Sonia Heidi Unruh
I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.

Well done!👏
So well done, Sonia :) This one really had an impact being read in both directions. Loved it!
Extremely well done, Sonia. Reading it down is situation normal. Reading it up is transformative.
Ooh! Very thought provoking. I like seeing how resistance is perceived by the speaker in both directions. In the first, the desire to change the world is resisted BY the world, so if your courage is lacking, then just give up. But in the second reading, it's the opposite. The bad will only continue; you have to BE the resistance. It's like the things that need to be changed are simultaneously the resistance AND the unstoppable force. What a cool way to view that word! This runs deep.
Loved it! Well done!
