Reseña del editor:

This multi-media work demonstrates how easy it is for people to compose the short, first-person remembrance, Because stories enter the heart most directly when they arrive through the ears, it is chiefly an audio book Between every chapter a fresh musical interlude helps people begin traveling down their own long-forgotten paths into the realm of memory, where, all we have ever seen still remains resting in the deep pool of experience and waiting only for the waters to quiet enough for us to see them.

Nota de la solapa:

John Updike once told her she wrote like a dream. Her fans laugh cry reading her in the paper each week. Now, with the warm stories in this new multi-media work, author and award-winning columnist Terry Marotta shows people of all ages how to journal, as she first leads them through some of her own stories, then hands them the “pen” in the form of dozens of concrete tips and starter phrases. This book is designed to be listened to as well as read because we all know it: stories that come in through the ear travel direct to the heart. “This happened to me,” one person says, laying a hand upon our arm. “And this happened to me,” his listener instinctively responds. A deep sense of peace settles upon us when we reach this moment, along with the sure belief that of course we can set down on paper what is real for us. Of course we can journal, because to journal is only to say what we saw, or heard or felt in our time here. We are all given a unique and true voice; this book simply shows us how to use it.Some very early reaction: “She writes with such grace, understanding and humor. If E.B. White were alive, he’d have reason to worry.” - Jerry Zezima, commentator for American Public Media's “Marketplace” and columnist for The Stamford Advocate and the L.A Times-Washington Post News Service “A very therapeutic work, in that it facilitates a wide range of emotions that don't easily surface for people. Terry’s voice is calming in itself, and leads one forward in one’s own feelings, describing place and family as nothing else can.” - R. Marino, Marino, Family Therapist “You can just relax and appreciated her deft and delicate touch with language, or try writing yourself with her gentle, supportive voice showing the way. It's all here, each little essay a brief meditation on the beauty of the world and the human heart.” Carol Weir, educator and reading specialist From the author of those two funny and poignant collections Vacationing in My Driveway and I Thought He Was a Speed Bump
