Comments on: The Person I Became (or what I’ve really learned since being published) https://joannacannon.com/2016/11/04/the-person-i-became-or-what-ive-really-learned-since-being-published/ Mon, 08 Jan 2018 11:53:19 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.3 By: Carina https://joannacannon.com/2016/11/04/the-person-i-became-or-what-ive-really-learned-since-being-published/#comment-710 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 06:34:12 +0000 http://joannacannon.com/?p=699#comment-710 Yes, Jo. You are a human being who has had a horrible life experience and not let it knock her down. You can crumble after such a thing happens or you can heal – in your own time – and then get on with living and channel that experience in some way – even if only subconsciously. Some folk go on and write unbelievable songs, you have written a funny and brilliant book and yes, we will look at you, but only to smile at you in gratitude, recognition and admiration.

I read it as slowly as I could in order to make it last longer!!! Didn;t want it to finish!
It has such a fantastic feeling of English life – you can only appreciate it when you live abroad.
I live in Israel and all the times thought how difficult it would have been translating it into Hebrew as Israeli readers would not understand all the ins and outs of the English small town life style.

Thank you for a fantastic experience!!!

It really is all so new for someone who prefers to sit behind a laptop and avoid confrontation at all costs. So wonderfully heartening that you took a deep breath and came out the other side not only intact but also a better person. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Jennifer

I also suffer from panic attacks and travelling is one of my fears. I know what it feels like to feel imprisoned by fear. Thanks so much for your book, your blog and your honesty. Alison

You have a lot to be be proud about. Personally I think the photos you’ve shared here are beautiful.
My second eldest daughter (I have four children) wants to study art. She loves faces and recently told me that the more wrinkles/scars/blemishes a face has, the more beautiful she finds it. She told me every face tells its own story of a life lived and that’s something she finds truly inspiring.

I didn’t travel on trains for a long time because of anxiety but a couple of years ago decided to face that fear and do it and it opened up my world and since then i’ve gone on to do lots of things that I would never have dared to do before, which feels great. And I totally get the fear of photographs thing too, but for different (and far less brave) reasons.
Keep being you xx
