Well, wow! We had such a great meeting on Tuesday! Seven (6 PWS and 2 SLPs) of us joined in on the Zoom call, including 3 who had not Zoomed in with us before (Jeff, Kate, Peggy) and we loved seeing Shaleen again. Also present were Maisie, Natalie, and me. It was great going around and meeting/greeting all again, as we do with newcomers. Hearing people's stories always brings me back to square one to remind me why we are there. It also reminds me about how we connect on levels not possible in our other life contexts. Maisie shared a story she had written for her blog; even if you aren't a "horror fan", you need to read this! So well written. It seems we have a talented writer in our midst! Most of the meeting time was then taken up by topics that ranged around being self-conscious when we stutter which led to the whys/how-to's of self-disclosure / aka "advertising" our stuttering.
