I welcome Gail Boenning back to The Eddy Network Podcast for a third visit. The occasion is an exchange that began as a discussion of a young poet and went deeper into the character of a writer’s process.
In one of the email exchanges, Gail wrote,
Carried the pebble on my walk.
Yes. The content. The contradiction and hypocrisy?
Here’s the thing… this recognition has me searching for my own hypocrisy in the social media circus. Beneficial!
The exchange transcended the topic of the young poet to be about how writers deal with contradiction, conflict, and integrity in their inner lives and the world of social media.
As our email exchange extended, I invited her into a conversation to be posted on the podcast. I hope that you can identify with the challenges we describe and see how, in your own lives, you can find a place for creativity to be expressed publicly.

There’s nothing I love more than a pebble that has potential to become a pearl!
Ed — Thank you for hosting me on the Eddy Network for a rich conversation about living and writing. I hope we will share more as we learn, grow, and evolve. I have a clear recognition that I am not the same woman who was on the podcast in 2021 or 2023.
As an early mentor once shared… Reinvention is a core competency. :)
