What a highly excellent idea, Angel Eyes!

I'm not into self-help guru stuff.

The minute someone tells me I could turn off a light bulb with my brain, however....I'm outta there.....

Gotta admit though, my eyes kind of glazed over and I skimmed through some of the self-help stuff at the end. Just the facts for me.

Does that make me a bad fan?


Nope! Myra and I just talked about this when we met up in NY last week. I've been to therapy. I'm all good. Thanks anyway, Jewel.

I'm up to the end now and I'm kinda glazing over with all the self help stuff too.

I'm still not sure I understand how she can have so much affection for Jacque after all the Zarathustra stuff. Didn't Jacque come into the picture because of her mother?

How very bizarre all this stuff with her mum and the brainwashing thing.

I have wondered this numerous times. She wrote 2 beautiful, heart-wrenching songs about this woman. I can't believe after everything she's gone through she would feel the same way about Jacque as she did when she thought Nedra was all that and a bag of chips.

So, Nedra bat not have been all Jewel needed in a mother, but I can't condone cyber bullying. I feel like it's the antithesis of EDA-dom. Granted I haven't even gotten 100 pages into the book, but still...Jewel has moved on, there's no need for us to bad mouth her further. ☺

AGREED!

Good heavens, what book are you discussing?

[MA_Ashley]

BTW, "A Night Without Armor" is a GREAT book. You can read it quickly, or you can spend an hour on one poem. Something to read again and again. 🌷

Uh, Never Broken.

So... American Airlines sucks!!! My 6 hour flight took 18 hours because they had a mechanical failure or a conniption or something (I've sworn to only fly Virgin American direct flights from now on). I had my Kindle with me with no decent cell phone service and it had few of the books I bought on it (despite a mostly empty flash chip!?!). But, Jewel's book was on it. So, I finally finished it/re-read it.

The whole book just made me really sad. Nedra reminded me so much of my dad. (I feel kind of bad for her, too, though.) Plus, it was such a total shock to be someone that followed her career and to have listened to interviews and read her writings and then to hear about how different things were from what she presented. Wow!

BTW, I don't think I can like Violet Eyes as much as I did, now.

Agree 100%. I look at Jewel a bit differently now since I read NB. People always look at an attractive, talented singer and think they have it all. .. but it must have been so hard for her. I can't believe how awesome she is after having gone through everything she did.

Sorry about your flight, Code.
