Chapters

"There are chapters in every life which are seldom read and certainly not aloud."

Carol Shields (1935-2003),
American-born Canadian author
best known for her 1993 novel The Stone Diaries

When was your silent chapter? How old were you when you lived through your chapter?



I was 26 through 28. It was not a time I'm proud of, but I've atoned.

  3. One of my "chapters" was actually a book......and another of my "chapters" was only a couple of pages while I made a very difficult decision. The funny thing about my life is that I honestly feel as though I've lived several different lifetimes within this one. Each phase was more than a chapter- each phase was an entire book.
