What a lovely tribute from a member of the Write Your Life Story Workshop.  Try your own writing with the opening line.  The first exercise was "We start here" followed by the opposite thought:

"We stop here..."   Add your writing to comments or sent to info@WriteYourLifeStory.org 

WEDNESDAY MORNING WRITING


I stop here.
It’s a place to share the words,
hear the talent
and move the pen quietly
over the lined pages.


I love the unique way each writer speaks his or her story
and it feels safe to tell mine.


Our teacher is special, an encourager.
Each person has enriched my life.


I stop here each Wednesday with anticipation
and wonder what the future will reveal
in regard to all the words laid lovingly in boxes,
in notebooks and on tiny scraps of paper.


One day perhaps, a book will bear
my name and make a difference.


I stop here with hope.
