Subject: Lurker finally emerging






Hello to everyone -

I just finally had to introduce myself. I have been so moved by the depth of
the discussion on this listserve. I haven't found this level of conversation
since I finished my MFA program. I did not realize how I hungered for it.

I am not a "storyteller", per se - but I am a writer and I teach creative
writing and I am also a grief counselor. I am in training to be a certified
poetry therapist, and am also finishing a second masters in counseling
psychology. I have always been moved by stories and have always leaned on
them whenever life took a transition (which is all the time!!)

Anyway, I could no longer lurk -- thank you thank you thank you for this
listserve and for all of your comments and insights. I have been enriched
already & have only "lurked" for a few weeks! :-)

Be well,
Laraine Herring
