Julie BiroA love of words as a child, spelling them and forming them into sentences using the rules of language fostered a desire to record the world around me in a daily diary. This passion for the written word translated into a teaching career where I delighed in imparting my love of language to primary school students through my 20's.As an adult it was to words I turned when my life demanded understanding of the trauma I remembered I had endured as a child in my family. Now I recorded the world inside me by keeping a daily journal of my thoughts, feelings and insights that came through dreams and contemplation of the trauma.
