Graham, I appreciated the opportunity to share. My goal was to complete all four weeks of the January challenge and participate in the live. This challenge encouraged me to get outside my comfort zone, which I believe was a necessary step towards restoring my confidence. Thank you!

Deloris, I loved your poem-he was there- I especially liked-he was there in the stillness and the silence. I like to take away phrases that meant so much to me. Thank you for sharing.

Unfortunately I missed the live as I was asleep. Thank you Graham for sharing the recorded live as it was amazing to hear such powerful & heartfelt poetry. Your advice & comments were so inspired & I'm sure gets people to write & share more. For them to step outside their comfort zone. I know I still get anxious when I share my writing or am live, but it allows me to test & stretch myself. Despite my anxiety, I have grown in confidence & continue to do so. Thank you for this platform, your comforting presence that allow us to share & grow. 🙏💖
