Here's what some participants have said about Write For Life:
"I want you to know that for the 20 minuits you spoke last week—your message really hit home to many in attendance. Especially me. Thank you for your wisdom."
Meg Nystrom, RN, BSN, MS
Health Education Coordinator
Dept. of Patient Education & Health Information
Cleveland Clinic
"For twenty-seven years I have been the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of California. I know how to be that. What I don’t know is how not to be that. Retirement awaits. And I look forward to using Dr. Sheppard Kominars’ book, Write for Life: Healing Body, Mind, and Spirit Through Journal Writing, to be a guide for my new life. Not only to transition but to make sense of the change. I intend to write for my life."
The Rt. Rev. William E. Swing
Episcopal Bishop of California, Retired
"[Sheppard] guides participants through the major obstacles they face starting and keeping the journal. Journaling is so valuable precisely because it enables us to befriend and make peace with our greatest fears and demons and to savor the beautiful and proud moments of our life."
Janel
"Affirmation! I can be my self and feel O.K. about it. I can continue to write as a way of life. I can stop worrying about the future and be grateful that I am in this place. I am here because Sheppard's course title drew me in and I have experienced the healing powers of words. I am here because of cancer. Cancer brings more and more into my life. Being with a few others means so much to me. Their specialness touches me. Being able to read something and to not have any comments or criticism. Just to be satisfied is so wonderful."
Diane
"It makes me realize how fortunate I was growing up with such supportive parents.—Here I realize what suffering others in the class have had. You open alternatives that are positive."
Marion W.
"I know that I’ll miss the workshop when it stops in August. Our instructor has a talent for making it seem like a parley of friends. The fact is that concentrating on the subjects he suggests I have discovered aspects of clarity on the past heretofore unknown."
Cary W.
"It is a great pleasure to come to this class when I can listen and speak with intelligent people. —Humor is possible and intelligence is present."
Gerda H.
"The Write For Life" workshop provides me with a lot of ‘food for thought’ – and I look forward to each one with anticipation. It motivates me to look into myself in ways I have not thought of doing before this class. I have discovered the true meaning of a ‘legacy’ and I will use what I have learned about ‘legacy’ to write such letters in the future."
Rita B.
" It got me to think about some things more seriously."
Mary M.
