Yesterday I was asked to come to a writing club designed for senior citizens to tell their stories . Each week they write a story about their life and then share it by reading it to the group. The group is very bright with women who are for the most part in their seventies. Their stories go from when they are young to what happened with friends.
My experience was great that I could see how open they had become in sharing their life experiences.
I came to the group and they were so interested in what made me write the book and the reason for the books. I began reading the prologue and continued on through the second chapter.
When I was in a store one of the woman came up to me and told me how much she appreciated the reading and could not wait to have the book. She told me that she felt people would be inspired because she was. She told me that she gets upset about being old but after hearing a short reading she realized that she knows how to make herself happy and so she was determined that she would “mobilize” herself to but energy into her step and heart!
