We had a great meeting last night at Dysart's.   5 of us showed up: Natalie, Lauren, Erin, Chris and myself.  We spent all the meeting time round robin, catching up .... Chris and Lauren hadn't met yet and he was surprised to see Erin 8  months pregnant!!   (Can she get any bigger?.... Yes she can!!)    Natalie recommended a podcast she and her husband recently listened to.  It is a good share of "what the stutterer is feeling" and helped her husband understand better what stuttering is like for her.  She will send and email to us all with the link.   So as we all shared what was new in our lives, one  main theme was the inconsistency of stuttering and how frustrating that can be.  However, we also agreed that "acceptance" and moving forward ....communicating courageously... is the best way to , well....just move forward !!!    

I will be traveling west (ending up in Oklahoma) after Easter and up through the first weekend in June.  Lauren and Erin (until baby is born) will be in charge of planning meeting dates and "leading" the April and May meetings. !!    I'll miss you all but will certainly enjoying seeing those grandchildren again!!

Stay calm and stutter on!
