Dear Brian,
It's my third session as
part of your Personal Stories classes, and I want to take a moment to thank you
for what has become a transformational experience for me. Although I've been
writing since I was very young, this course has been a different level of
understanding for me of what it means to be a storyteller.
For me, the classes are part
therapy, part safe space for sharing, and most importantly, they’ve brought me the
realization that all of us human beings are, at heart, storytellers. Some of
the stories I write are amusing, some are sad, but all of them bring back
memories and a different perspective on experiences through the different
decades of my life.
Your ability to teach and
mentor, critique and praise, is something I look forward to each week.
There's always that brief moment when I think that I have nothing to say,
and then you provide a few prompts, and the words simply flow.
Thank you for providing a
weekly moment of joy, introspection and sharing.
Warmest regards,
Aldona Barysas
