  • If you didn’t know, I am the author of the book “The Tale of Tiger Lily.” So, for today I will take you through my process behind writing this idea that I had when I was in my 20s, but didn’t start writing till my 30’s, then finally put into fruition after 7 years.

    If you are interested in reading my book, here’s an excerpt:We can all recall the story of Peter Pan, and the brief but profound interlude with the lovely and discerning Tiger Lily.

    When we saw her last, the beautiful Native American monarch had been captured by the infamous Captain Hook, who had bound her wrists and ankles and left her on a rock to await the imminent doom of the rising tide. Hook taunted her to reveal the whereabouts of Peter Pan, claiming she would risk the fate of never making it to the “happy hunting grounds” if she were to die a death of drowning. Through it all, Tiger Lily remained silent, proud and brave that she refused to reveal the hideout of Peter Pan even as the tide rushed in and threatened to wash her away. It was in that precise moment that Peter Pan swooped in to battle the angry captain and rescue Tiger Lily seconds before drowning. He would return her to the safety of her eagerly awaiting father, Chief Great Little Big Panther, and the tribe would celebrate Peter into the night.

    That was the last we saw of the noble Tiger Lily and we are left only to speculate how such a young lady could have been so selfless and brave. What images raced through her mind as she was near death? If we could go back to that night and listen to her thoughts, what tale would they tell?

    Could it be possible that the stubborn pride we all saw was but a mask for despair, and her silence, but a plea to end it all? If we could go back and delve further into her mind, what if Tiger Lily revealed that she did not want to be saved that fateful night at Mermaid’s Lagoon? That she did not want to return to her village and the emptiness that awaited her there? When the tide rose up and Captain Hook was threatening her with death, could it be that she welcomed it? The only way that we will ever know is if we travel back before the capture, before Peter, before Tiger Lily could ever foresee that such danger was looming in her future.

    If you are as curious as I, let us allow Tiger Lily to take us back to the days before this fateful event, before she felt that silence was the only way to end her suffering. Let us hear the tale of Tiger Lily…

  • Today’s episode is very timely and a lesson we all need sooner rather than later. It’s all about not letting other people’s opinions have power over you.

    ----more----

    I share stories from when I was young and when I allowed myself to get sucked into teenage drama, but there finally came a moment when I decided that I will no longer give up my power.

    ----more----

    Since that realization, I adopted the mantra “What other people think of you is none of your business” and continued to carry it with me throughout my adult life.

    ----more----

    I also share a story of how that lesson has helped me be brave enough to share my self-proclaimed name, Jill Featherstone, with the world. It may have taken 40 years before I 100% owned that name, but it freed me.
