Thank you Karl. You know what? I can't really recall a time in life, other than the births of my kiddies and meeting my lovely geeky boyfriend of course, when I have been so THANKFUL that a person has, for whatever reason, found their way into my life and I into theirs. You are an amazing person. Not only because of the help you have given me in getting my experiences "out there" to help other people, but also because I just LOVE what you are doing. I have listened to several of the other conversations you have recorded and each one has been mesmerising and powerful in its own right. I don't think that just ANYONE could get that result. You are very special indeed.
Misty, since we "met" on Twitter I have been in awe of you. I LOVE your honesty, your humour and I am really touched that we have become friends. Your support means more to me that I can even possibly express. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I urge any listeners to take some time to hear some of Karl's other conversations. Turn off the TV, get your headphones and lose yourself in a really human experience. LISTEN to a conversation in a way that you have never done before. There's nothing like it.
For those of you who would like to know more about me, hear more of my story, or just keep up with day to day musings I scribble on my blog, please go to http://splinteredreflections.com.
This is Part 1 of a conversation I recorded with Jane Prinsep on June 16th this year in her home in Switzerland for a series of Intimate Conversations on the subject of sex. Jane was raped at the age of 14 and in this part of our conversation Jane describes the rape itself and how it affected Jane and her family, then and now. Sometimes I edit down a conversation into just one 10-15 minute piece. My conversation with Jane was one of the highlights of my year and I think merits a more thorough and gentle unfolding, hence our joint decision to release it in parts.
This is a really tough listen in parts - but if you're feeling robust, I think you might find it profoundly moving and powerful. Jane's courage in facing the cards dealt to her as a teenager and her sheer force for life are an inspiration to me and (I hope) many others.
You were raped physically but, what seems worse than anything, you were also raped mentally. I understand the hair thing. I did the same once and it helped me too. Even though I can't ever imagine what you went through, I can, bizarrely understand your defiance and strength. A wonderfully articulate story which deserves a wide audience. You should be proud of yourself each and every single day. You are a credit to womankind.
I wrote about some of the reactions I have received from this interview. Please click the link:
