Storytelling

One of my birthday presents from Geoff was to sign me up for a one-time only class at Story Studio Chicago. The class meets tonight.

And here's the thing: I'm nervous, anxious, and agitated about going to the class. Part of me wants to just forget it and stay home.

If I don't try, I won't fail, right?

Yeah, I know. I'm going. I bet I'll even like it.

Good luck with your class. What a sweet, thoughtful gift. And your new lens--what a great present. Could you please tell your husband to post on his blog, I was really enjoying his posts. :) You can do it Geoff. Throw away the Almond Joy's and come back to the joys of weight loss blogging. :)

Please do tell us all about it! It sounds like a great class.

I didn't even realize you live in Chicago! I'm in Chicago, too. It's a small world, really.

So...how was it??

[Josie]

Yeah, I'd like to hear how it went, too! I've been thinking of trying the same place...hope it was cool.

Congratulations on a great present! And I have to say, as I don't mind being bold :-) , that after reading your journal for three years (including the archives) I am sure you'll do great!!!

Do you realize how absolutely beautiful you and your family are? I've been following your journal for a couple of years now and just recently read more of the archives. If Katie has inherited only half of your beutiful soul, she'll grow into a strong, lovely young woman who will change a significant part of the world for the better.

I stumbled on your site from dotmoms. I'm a Chicago lawyer/mom also. And I would love to write. I had never heard of the Chicago Story Studio - I'll have to look into it. I struggle with my writing because I want to do well and I'm afraid I'm not good enough. I share your anxiety about taking the step of actually walking into a class full of people. I recently took an online class from Gotham Writers Workshop (www.writingclasses.com) and it was great. A lot less anxiety being on the internet instead of in person!
