Spirals of Care

March 5, 2018 By Nancy Casey

Create a page about things that matter to you which doesn’t have any words on it.

On a scrap paper, list 10-20 things that are important to you.

Next to each item, draw a symbol to represent it.

On a clean sheet, draw a circle in the center that represents you.

Draw each of your symbols on that sheet.  Spread them out over the page evenly.  Arrange them so that the things that are physically close to you are near the center.  Put symbols for things that are physically far from you near the edges.

Draw connections to show how the symbols are related.  Make each connecting “line” look different.

Add color, lots of it, to the page.

When all the drawing and coloring is finished, draw a large spiral on the page that begins in the center and expands outward.

Give your work a title and write the date on it.

Throw the scrap paper away.

Here is a more detailed version of these instructions.

Nancy blogs weekly for the Latah Recovery Community Center, sharing writing ideas that support self-awareness and self-esteem.


 

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.
