Dear Julie and Richard, Congratulations on a job well done. I am not at all surprised to read about how the experience changed lives, how people felt permission to be themselves, to tell their stories, the good, the bad, and the ugly. They felt safe in the room. I remember the first time I met the two of you, I felt like I could be who I am, just a small town Iowa girl, and it would be okay. Thank you for giving that to me and, honestly, to everyone who has and will cross your path.
Since I was fortunate to have been one of the workshop participants, I can add I felt very uplifted and motivated to be part of such a creative, authentic and fun group. Many participants chose to be direct and outgoing with their feelings. Others, like me, tended to be more reserved. Especially exciting for me now, however, is the opportunity I have to continue new interactions and relationships started there - with people who care and are generous in sharing their talents with others. Thank you!
Congratulations on a great workshop. lovely recounting and Chuck "Iowa Boy' is down to earth

So sorry to have missed it. Sounds incredibly successful! Nice job, Julie.
I had no doubt it would be a success since you were the one to bring a great idea to life Julie. Congratulations to you and Richard.
