James-I appreciate so much your honesty and sharing that ‘I cannot love her any less for it,’ which made something clear for me in my own life right now. Thank you so much for being an incredible gift to me tonight. ~Charlena

Storm attracted friends into my life, some of the best people ever, ones who expect to have some surpriseat other’s behaviors but look past it, inside the other to see the human spirit within and recognize our fundamental right to exist, to love, to thrive, to be respected. I appreciate your thoughtful expression of what Storm’s story means to you. My wife, one of her fan organizers, left life a few weeks before Crazy Enough started it’s run in Portland. Hearing our friend sing of valuing LIFE and LOVE through the many times I saw it, took me deep through inner journeys and soggy handkerchiefs. I chose life for myself. That my girl chose escape was her choice. I cannot love her any less for it. Storm always helps me see the beauty under the ugliness of life.

I LOVE what you said here! I am a Christian, but I am sick of being told by other “Christians” what that means. I am shocked by a lot of Christians lack of tolerance. Thank you for articulating what I have been feeling.

Right On, Charlena! Too often we are offended by ‘words’ instead of the truth that is underneath them….. We live completely oblivious to the things we should be offended by: racism, ageism, sexism, and…the list goes on. I found Storm’s messages empowering, even though at times her honesty was disarming. But like you, I was ignited by her passion…and ultimate acceptance of self-responsibility for her life. May we all be so brave……..
