Josie at safetycomfort tagged me with this. Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen writers who’ve influenced you and that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag at least fifteen friends, including me, because I’m interested in seeing what authors my friends choose.
These are my influential writers and a few words about how they've influenced me...
Susie Bright - Sexual Freedom, Creative Empowerment
Leo Buscaglia - Love
Thomas Moore - The Soul, Loving Our Humanness, Bridging Transcendence and Immanence
Rob Brezny - Pronoia, Creative Generosity (He inspired The Conspiracy of Blessings)
Shiloh McCloud - Feminine Creativity and Spirituality
bell hooks - Love, Social Justice
Mark Nepo - Awakening
John Welwood - Love and Awakening
Eve Ensler - Women's Empowerment, Healing (Author of The Vagina Monologues - She inspired The Yoni Endeavor)
Caroline Myss - My Spiritual Teacher
Andrew Harvey - Mysticism, Queer Spirituality, The Divine Feminine
Lucille Clifton - Feminine Wisdom in Poetry (Huge influence on me in college as I was learning to embrace myself as a woman.)
And four science fiction writers because they deeply inspire me:
Frank Herbert - Incredible Insight into Human Evolution (Philosophy, Religion, Politics)
Octavia Butler - Gave me a Heroine with the Gift of Empathy
Dan Simmons & Orson Scott Card - Beautiful Visions of What Humans Can Become

I am going to tag people I'd love to answer this in Facebook.

I love your list - there's so much on there I want to read too. I like how you've mentioned why these writers influenced you, it's something I missed out of mine, so it can be something I include in each week's post. Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
