More Myself

'Gathering the raw pieces of my experience and holding them up to the light has, for me, been a transformational exercise in truth telling. I've spent so many years withholding parts of myself, sacrificing my spirit to make others feel comfortable . . . I'm done with dimming my light. Writing this book has been about meeting myself, with all my wounds and vulnerabilities, exactly as I am -and then, at last, having the courage to reveal my full face. It has been about realizing that, in order for the truth to set me free, I must first be brave enough to birth it.'Alicia Keys
