Gratitude

One of the major saving graces of this semester (for me) has been witnessing and participating in the journey this class has undertaken. 

Most closely I have watched Heidi, Tessa, and Rebecca, who were my small group, take enormous risks with their writing; delve into huge new projects that were expansive beyond imagining when we first sat together. Their willingness to go in, that courage, that labour, inspires me. They each, and collectively we, have done, so, much, work. 

I've been learning about my own teaching praxis alongside, and with you folks, and with Elmaz's incredible mentorship. I leave this semester changed, clearer about why I am doing the work, which is to say writing, not at Mills, but in my life. Learning with each of you has informed that hugely.

Light,
mia
