My Unravelling

Unravelling...

I get a lot of emails asking for more details about the Unravelling e-course I have been taking the last month and a half that I mention in my posts. So I thought I would take some time and tell you my thoughts.

Unravelling with Susannah Conway has been the highlight of my summer. The course is comprised of both photography (the mosaic below is of some of my photographs from the exercises) and writing assignments. Everyday I jump out of bed and run to my laptop to see what she has laid out for us next. Susannah does not just lead the course, she shares her own experiences and unravels with us. Which makes the whole thing seem so much more real and attainable.

She creates a safe environment where the group can interact, explore and grow together - forming bonds and friendships that will last well after the class has ended. And as you have seen with my journal , I have been able to mix it in with my art journaling, which has helped make it fun for me.

My personal experience - I have done something so big while in the class, something I never dared to think I could do, a big step in my personal growth. I got so much encouragement and support that it opened up a space in me where I am starting see myself better - and I know that space will continue to grow, letting more of myself shine through.

It is an eye opening, rewarding, positive experience that I think anyone would benefit from, no matter where you are in life.

So, do I think you should do it?
Yes.

Do I think it is worth the cost?
Yes, absolutely.

Do I think you should sign up to be notified when registration opens for the next round?
Yes - but be quick, it sells out fast!

And those of you who have already taken it... perhaps I will get to know you in the Unravelling Further course this fall.

Well said, well said, well said! And in addition, you meet wonderful, generous, thoughtful folks like you, my dear Hope, who go out of their way to help, to support, to offer advice. It has been an incredible experience, and we are almost done. But really only beginning. :)

Dear Auntie Hope and Cousin Tuala,
I want to thank you soooooo much for my new "baby" toy! I am currently running through the house with it in my mouth and making sure that the sqeaky is loud and clear for all to hear! Mommy is typing this as I dictate. I hope to be typing my own letters soon, but for now I am content chasing Weezie and Bella, peeing on the floor and chewing sticks.

I hope I don't have to share this toy with cousin Leo this weekend, I will have to ask Mommy to buy him his own toys!

I will send you a new photo of me soon to hang on Tuala's bedroom wall. I want to be penpals with Tuala! I love her.

THANKYOU again Auntie Hope! You are THE BEST AUNTIE EVAH!!!!

Love, Abigail Berry xoxoxox
