Hibernate or hoopla?

​Brewing, composting, gestating...The other day I spent a gray afternoon sipping tea at a teashop. It felt like a luxurious treat, to sit inside with a group of other tea enthusiasts, tasting one brew after another, passing the short afternoon together in simple conversation. After each pot was spent, we threw the unfurled tea leaves outside onto the dirt, the tips of green daffodils already peeking through the soil.

Sometimes the holidays can bring pressure instead of peace; a call to socialize, to light up the night and focus outwards. They can also be a time of resting without guilt, realigning you with what you want to create, receive, and call in. What is gestating inside of you this winter? What are you wanting to create in the year ahead?
Maybe you have a story brewing inside of you that is ready to be born into the world. If you'd like to join others exploring their stories, consider joining us for the upcoming Twelve Windows journey. It's a time of exploration, connecting both to your past and to each other in an intimate group setting.

If you'd like a bit more information before jumping in, I'm offering a free class on Saturday, December 13th answering common questions people have about memoir writing.  Here's what I'll be addressing: 

1. “Where do I  begin?”
2. “What do I include? Do I need to write the whole story of my life?”
3. “What if nothing really big has happened in my life?” 
4. “What if people in my story get upset?
5. "How do I stay motivated when it gets emotional?"

Below is a video note from one of the recent Twelve Windows graduates, Kristen Brookes, sharing what the journey was like for her.
