When Terry Sue's alcoholic mother passed away, she embarked on a 40 year journey to search for her absent biological father. She realized she just simply wanted a sincere apology from him. Another challenge that Terry Sue faced was functional illiteracy. She feels a debt of gratitude for having escaped alcoholism and illiteracy, to where she is today, as a published author. Terry Sue shares these nuggets of life wisdom: - perseverance is the key - trust your intuition - talking about the past can be helpful and take the shame out of it - there is a way out of the dark and secretive mindset - open up - put language to those vague thoughts - find community and comfort       tags: Terry, Sue, Harms, writer, author, The, Strongbox, story, stories, that, empower, empowering, empowerment, inspire, inspiring, inspiration, encourage, encouraging, encouragement, hope, light, podcast, Sean,

Ep. 46 Terry Sue Harms: A Podcast for Writers on How to Live the Writing Life

Terry Sue Harms is the author of her third book, a remarkable accomplishment for a woman who didn’t start reading until she was in her early twenties. This new release is a memoir titled The Strongbox. In it, she reveals the grit, tenacity, and courage it took to not only tackle her reading disability but also to find her absent biological father and face his rejections. Terry Sue didn’t begin writing until she was in her forties, but she’d been hairdressing since she was a teenager, and it’s the intimate story-telling nature of that profession that has fueled her personable, candid, and compelling writing style.
