“I’ve Been Thinking” is Journalist Maria Shriver’s latest book.

Maria Shriver’s The Sunday Paper email newsletter is one of my Sunday ‘must reads’ and today’s also provided the inspiration for this article.

By Eileen Fleming

Maria Shriver’s The Sunday Paper email is a free gift filled with “news and views above the noise” delivered by “powerful, passionate and purpose-driven content” and people who are moving “Humanity Forward.”

In this Sunday’s Maria Shriver’s SUNDAY PAPER, Maria wrote:

“I’ve Been Thinking…” is my first book since my mother died in 2009. It’s my first book since I’ve been on my own…Putting something this personal out into the world is nerve-wracking and scary because you never know how it will be received. But, you know what’s worse? Having something inside of you that wants to come out and not doing anything to honor that feeling….

When I noted that Maria will be in California for this years LA TIMES Book Festival it reminded me of my experience at that Festival of Books in 2013, raising awareness about apartheid in the Holy Land and Israel’s nuclear whistle blower Mordechai Vanunu’s human rights struggle to be allowed to leave Israel; which continues despite the fact Vanunu has been accepted for asylum in Norway so that he can live in Oslo with his wife.

Lately I’ve been thinking about a particular USS Liberty survivor of The Six Day War because I am currently writing  Don Pageler’s USS Liberty LOVE Story

I imagine Maria Shriver the journalist would be very interested in interviewing Don Pageler because only love will Move Humanity Forward.

Don Pageler’s USS Liberty LOVE Story is:

Dedicated to Eva Pageler and the USS Liberty’s Captain William Loren McGonagle and Lieutenant Richard Kiepfer, MD

All proceeds for this book will be donated to the USS Liberty Veterans Association in Honor of the following thirty-four USS Liberty causalities of Israel’s Six Day War:
