    Writing how we feel about what happened to us along the way is sort of a preemptive strike to determine how we’ll be remembered by future generations. What a gift it is to hand down the story of how you met the love of your life, how you stood up to the meanest kid in the neighborhood, what you ate on Tuesday nights in elementary school. What great lessons our lives have to teach about handling tough times, overcoming obstacles and surviving mistakes. About the indescribable rewards of appreciating, loving and forgiveness. Assignments are designed to trigger memories, providing a record of people, places, events and emotions that might otherwise be lost. Studies show that writing slows you down, clarifies emotions, dispels demons...and heals. The process can take you from self-expression to self-discovery. Our memory is our truth. Through a combination of informal lectures, discussion, in-class writing exercises and weekly assignments, you will be encouraged to uncover the wonderful stories hidden within your life experience.
