Awareness

Bubbles of Your Bubble

August 17, 2020 By Nancy Casey

Imagine yourself inside of a small bubble: your skin, the room, any kind of smallish bubble around you. Write down what you are aware of inside that bubble: sounds, smells, thoughts, people and things. Draw an imaginary bubble that's a bit larger than the first one.  What are you aware of inside that one? Imagine the bubble expanding to become bigger.  Now what's in it … [Read more...] about Bubbles of Your Bubble

Small, Medium, Large

August 3, 2020 By Nancy Casey

Dwell in the present. What your senses take in. Your physical and emotional state. The contents of your mind and imagination. Divide a page into four equal sections. Label three of them: Small, Medium, and Large. Ignore the fourth. What, in your personal present is large? What is small? What lies somewhere in between? Make lists in the spaces labeled Small, Medium, and … [Read more...] about Small, Medium, Large

A List, Plus …

December 1, 2019 By Nancy Casey

Find a place to write where there is some kind of scene or situation in front of you. Along the left-hand side of the page, write down words that describe what you are taking in from your surroundings. What words evoke what you see, hear, taste, smell and feel on your skin? Make a list that runs the length of the page. Reread it. Draw a line that separates the list from … [Read more...] about A List, Plus …

More Than Five Senses!

May 29, 2018 By Nancy Casey

Taste, touch, hearing, smell and sight are not our only senses.  We hear about a "sixth sense" which is vaguely defined as information that comes from "somewhere else." Not everyone thinks that sense is real. Proprioception is a sense that is definitely real, however.  This is the sense that tells us where our body is and how it is moving. Interoception is another sense … [Read more...] about More Than Five Senses!

The Spaces Between Us

March 9, 2018 By Nancy Casey

Have you ever inadvertently walked too close to an overhanging branch only to have a leaf or twig that you didn’t see slap you on the eyelid as you passed? Was it by some lucky coincidence that you happened to blink at the perfect instant? Michael Graziano, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Princeton University, would assure you that timing of the blink was no … [Read more...] about The Spaces Between Us

Writing classes and workshops

I had been looking forward to the 2020 summer season of in-person  Write-For-You workshops at the Latah Recovery Community Center.  Alas.

 

Congratulations to last summer’s students who earned certificates in Fiction Writing, Project Management and Grant Writing.

 

Applause and thanks to those who dropped by the classes just for fun.

 

If you are in recovery and interesting in writing coaching, contact Nancy.


 

Let’s Talk About It

A program that supports reading and discussion in libraries throughout the state of Idaho. Free and open to all. Somehow? Again? At a later date?

 

We are all looking forward to the time when it will be possible to resume these lively book discussions.

 

I’ve served as a scholar for this program for I-don’t-know-how-many years. I have found every book, every library, every group of people to be interesting and stimulating. Every discussion brings new ideas and surprises.

 

I’m confident that this program will evolve so that it can continue to bring Idahoans together through books. We just don’t know how or when that will happen.  Yet.
