What would happen, I wondered, if I asked the workshop participants to try rewriting one of their self-stories in third person?
Writing a Better Story for Your Relationships
In this month’s post, I interviewed psychologist Karen Skerrett about her work on the ways that the stories that couples tell about their lives together—which she calls “We-Stories”--can shape the quality of their relationships. I met Karen (virtually) and learned about her work last fall when she participated in my workshop series called Writing a Better Story for Your Life. I thought readers would like to know more about her work.
So You Think You Know How the Story Ends?
My hydrangeas are blooming beautifully. As I’ve enjoyed them, I’ve been thinking about how I should never assume that I know how the story will end.
Hydrangeas are my favorite flower, especially the big Nikko blues, and each year I look forward to hydrangea season. I love to cut big bouquets for my house.
This year, I was convinced I would have no hydrangeas.
