Peek Inside: “Surviving Sue” – Writing for Resilience

I’m pretty excited.  It’s only January 11 and the new year is full of surprises. Good ones! I wrote about Wynne and I being included in the CWA (Chicago Writers Association) Speakers Bureau last week and I’ve already had a nibble on one of the offerings – about navigating elder care.  Woo-hoo!

Yet another opportunity surfaced, and I’m thrilled to share I’ll be teaching a course this summer on writing, resilience and healing.  Here’s the detail.

It’s a four-week in-person offering in June and July and I’m excited to be back in the classroom again, sharing what I learned as a result of my own healing and writing journey.

Thanks so much for the on-going support of my “Peek Inside” posts.  Good things continue to roll my way and I’m grateful. 

I’ve updated my business website:  www.atkinsongroupsolutions.com to include these recent developments and I’ll continue to blog about my adventures and share what I’m learning along the way.  Generous writers and readers?  Thank you all.

Vicki 😊

  7. This is such fabulous news Vicki. I miss the classroom. It will make all the difference in the world teaching something you love and have such a strong knowledge base to share. I’m thinking whoever passes through that portal and into your care is one lucky student of life. Congratulations. Hugs, C
