WOW! What a interesting journey I have begun. I have always journaled my daily thoughts and knew someday I would like to create a book from them. I kept putting it off until your Write Your Life Stories opportunity appeared. How easy and exciting it is to receive the weekly lesson and your simple explanations and examples. Nancy

After taking off a whole year of writing stories of my life because I had lost my way in writing, I heard about Sheila's class. Her approach has inspired me to start again with a total new way.

Finally, after countless failed attempts, I am making the time to write everyday. This course is giving me an easy-to-follow and very enjoyable structure to guide me into the exploration of my memories. An unexpected benefit from Sheila's lessons is discovering MUCH more detail in my memories than I had hitherto been able to recall. Her questions and examples unlock hidden/camouflaged textures and emotional nuance. Molli
