You have helped me appreciate how much I've grown. At 30, I couldn't even name a feeling/emotion. Thirty years later, I can smile, breathe deeply and say," Yes, I am alive and well. Surely, your creative works will help many people. Thank you. You have helped me appreciate how much I’ve grown. At 30, I couldn’t even name a feeling/emotion.

As our Mistress of Fun it is my job at East Bay Coaches to come up with some opening that allows us to know each other better as well as to share our individual skills. Before the meeting started, I put a card on each chair so that folks would have one when the meeting started. I asked them to look at the card and using a scenario with an imaginary coachee, to ask a question about the emotion displayed on the card. Five volunteers stood to offer open-ended questions designed to elicit more information about that emotion. Two of the five said that they had used the descriptors at the bottom of the card to formulate their questions. What a great tool for coaches!

My school author visits went well, and my son Kaj and I had a blast (12 is a great age for traveling). One of the schools had me stay extra days (beyond my presentations) for writing workshops. I wish you could have seen the kids with your cards. They acted out emotions, then translated what they were feeling physically into language for writing. So cool!
