Driven by Pat Phillips West
by Debra Smouse on 21. Apr, 2013 in Fear & Courage (Apr/May/Jun 2013), Writings
She draws back from the railing, covers her ears to block the sound of his voice, angry with the empty promise of his life, replaying in her head. Last night she thought about the broken washing machine while he humped her and how she almost ran off years ago the first time he punched [...]
Welcome to Fear & Courage
by Debra Smouse on 18. Apr, 2013 in ATG News
As both a writer and a life coach, I have an intimate relationship with the concepts, symptoms, and appearance of both fear and courage. While I prefer to think of the world and it’s inhabitants in the light of courage, it’s hard to acknowledge without openly discussing its mirror image, fear. I’m often drawn to [...]

Thriving at the Edge by Deb Graham
by Debra Smouse on 16. Apr, 2013 in Everything Girl, Fear & Courage (Apr/May/Jun 2013)
Do you remember a moment when nothing about you ‘fit in’? For me it happened in 2002.

For 2 months after I sent my book into the world, I was stuck. It was weird and hard. How could I feel like this after giving so much time and love to something that I created with passion and that I’m extremely proud of? Someone told me that it’s normal to feel down after completing a big [...]

Please Stand By. Back on the Air.
by Debra Smouse on 27. Jan, 2013 in ATG Editor Chatter, ATG News
Maybe my age is showing, but when I was a little girl, it wasn’t unusual to see color blocks or a back and white test image on the TV screen informing the viewers that the station was experiencing some technical difficulties.
