			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Plot Whisperer Martha Alderson (who will be presenting <a href="http://www.cwcsacramentowriters.org/" target="_blank">her workshop on April 7, 2012 at CWC-Sacramento Writing Academy series </a>Thank you Margie Yee Webb for reminding me) tells Writing Coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan about Una King and TRAIL BLAZING WOMEN Authors</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/UnaKing.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4245" title="children's book author Una King" src="http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/UnaKing.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="135" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.tugboatcrew.com" target="_blank">Una King</a> wrote:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Dear Teresa: Martha Alderson told me you especially liked my story of integrating the San Francisco Cable cars for women. There is a group of &#8220;TRAIL BLAZING WOMEN&#8221; authors, mostly in their 80-90&#8242;s, who could use support in their effort on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Childrens-Reading-Room/270386249695469" target="_blank">Children&#8217;s Reading Room project</a>. Perhaps, if you found some time, you could visit the project site, my page here at facebook&#8211;Children&#8217;s Reading Room. If you feel women, aged 80-90&#8242;s who are still going strong as authors, deserve support, perhaps you would feel like making a positive comment on the project to your friends. These pioneering women could really use any and all support. When I think of Ms. Buscho, 93 and still going strong as an author, I bless every day she is still with us. Thank you, Teresa. <a href="http://www.tugboatcrew.com" target="_blank">Una King</a>, author of <em>Tiny Tug</em>, Adventures on San Francisco Bay (a children&#8217;s book)</p>
<p>Coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan here to thank Una King and all the TRAIL BLAZING WOMEN&#8221; authors for their work to benefit the Children&#8217;s Reading Room project.</p>
<p>I see from Una King&#8217;s facebook page that she&#8217;ll be on radio every Sunday:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Hey folks: Sunday, April 1, 2012, 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM (Pacific time), and every Sunday thereafter, please check out my new live FM radio show, on 107.3FM  &#8220;Children&#8217;s Reading Room by Una King.&#8221; It is also <strong>simulcast via Podcast throughout America</strong> on <a href="http://www.kows.fm/" target="_blank">http://www.kows.fm/</a></p>

<p>Amy Gorman&#8217;s book, <em><a href="http://www.agingartfully.com/aging-artfully-book.html" target="_blank">Aging Artfully</a>, </em>is  about the twelve women aged 85-105 who inspired this work. It’s also  about promoting positive healthy aging for the general public, and for  advocating involvement with the creative arts in retirement years. It’s  never too late to start something new…it could prolong your life!  <a href="http://www.agingartfully.com/" target="_blank">http://www.agingartfully.com/</a></p>
<p>Cheering for Una, Amy, and their colleagues and fans!</p>

&#8220;Thank you Dearest Teresa, for your kind words before you even saw the  film below. I hope hope hope you like it.  I loved the process start to  finish! You are a marvelous subject, to me the result is pure magic. It  is up on Youtube, too&#8212; I posted it to facebook and it should be on  your homepage.&#8221;</p>
<p>My reply:</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<div id="id_4d4a4998cbaf30e43789932"><span>&#8220;Dear <a href="http://www.facebook.com/chandra.garsson" target="_blank">Director/Producer/Editor/F</a></span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/chandra.garsson" target="_blank">ilmmaker Chandra</a>,<br />
&#8216;Water  Boy Teresa&#8217; here.  You are a remarkable &#8216;expressionist&#8217; &#8212; in your art  &#8212; in your jewelry-making &#8212; in the way you dress &#8212; in your speech &#8212;  in how you do &#8216;friendship,&#8217;  and now, in yo<span> </span><span>ur  films.  Thank you, Chandra Garsson (the power of your name!), for  letting me be the subject of your color-filled, sound-filled,  humor-filled, artsy video.  Hey, MaMa, my friend Chandra made a film and  she is so clever&#8211;she edited it so that in the beginning I talk about  how I enjoy helping writers link their names to issues they write about .  . . at the end, Chandra included the talk about how you had changed  your name several times&#8230; I think the film is beautiful and I got to  talk about my mom candidly and joyfully. I&#8217;m so happy that you Chandra  included the photo of you and me&#8230;speaking up as public library  advocates at Oakland City Council meetings.  The editing of the video  took many days; I know it was a labor of love. Love made of Chandra’s  heart. Thank you, dear friend, for a magnificent gift !!!!!!! </span></div>
<div><span>Humbly,  Teresa&#8221;</span></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">Also I need to thank dear friend <a href="http://artsinthevalley.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Kim McMillon</a> (playwright, literacy advocate, teacher, producer). It was at a&#8221; Kim McMillon Production&#8221; at Swans Marketplace in Oakland where I met Chandra Garsson. Kim had given me (a newbie then) stage time to read a scene from pre-published <em>Love Made of Heart</em>. I ended my presentation with &#8220;NO to domestic violence and child abuse!!&#8221; and when I got off the stage, Chandra introduced herself&#8230; Kim, you are a hero in the writing community. I&#8217;ve met so many big-hearted do-ers through you; MamaCoAtl I&#8217;m talking about you <img src='http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />    Kim, thank you for being a beautiful friend. I see how busy you are by looking at your blog <a href="http://artsinthevalley.wordpress.com" target="_blank">http://artsinthevalley.wordpress.com</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I thank my friends and Chandra&#8217;s friends for being so supportive.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sincerely,</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Teresa LeYung Ryan, writing career coach</p>
