Last night at group we were 20 people strong, with three first timers (Welcome Alina, Danny and Fior!). Our guest leaders Bilal and Stavros kicked the meeting off by asking about positive stuttering experiences. One member volunteered that she has been stuttering more over the past weeks – because she is speaking more than ever. Lets all take a moment to reflect upon how powerful that is…

Marc W came up with the idea of writing a letter to yourself when you are in a positive and empowered place. One that you can read to scrape yourself off the floor when the chips fall in a different way. This leads me into our first ever “homework assignment”…

We all agreed to write a letter to ourselves over the next month. Think of what you want yourself to hear in the dark moments. Maybe it is that you are capable of that job, or that you can freely socialize and stutter at the same time. Or simply, “you are okay.” Its OK if you don’t feel positive or strong right now, just think of what you want to feel and believe. You won’t have to share this letter if you don’t want to – so let the emotions/inspiration rip.

A huge thank you to Bilal and Stavros for leading last night – it was such an open and dynamic meeting.

Until JUNE!
