Interesting to watch you experiment with this process Mary. Thanks for sharing! Going to revisit my story frameworks too.

Hello Mary,

I soaked this up.

I’m always reframing

I love the idea of three parts

Rewrite revise

I have a hard time with brevity

Wonderful teaching

Thank you

I think u read my last essay-thx

It was loaded but not wasted

It is serving as a fuel for a book I am working on

I did go back and edit as I’ve been under dental treatment

Pleased with the service as I’m such a better advocate for myself

We need this in medical situations as you know

Thx again

I can’t figure out how you put new lines in your replies so I sent mine prematurely. I did read your last essay and I thought I commented on it, but I couldn’t remember what I said so I went back to find it and couldn’t. Some replies go up before they’re ready and some don’t go up even when they are.

Yes, brevity is a challenge for me, too. What to clarify and what to expand is a big challenge for me.

Yes I’m in The same stream

And accepting my typos when I use my phone ☺️

Thanks! We are given many situations, often without writing a request for them, without "deserving" them. The interesting part is the story, as you have shown so well in this micro essay!
