Today I spent the morning at my friend Alice's church talking with a group of adults about writing my "This I Believe" essay and parenting a child with special needs. That group is about to begin composing their own essays and have started thinking about what they will write. My suggestion for getting started was to fill in the blanks for the following three sentences:
1. The number one thing that I want everyone to know about me is _________________.
2. I learned this important fact about myself when____________________________.
3. The reason I want everyone to know this about is __________________________.
Voila! The essay writes itself! Not really, but it seems to me that this is a good place to start.
In the afternoon, we went to the MSU women's basketball game. The highlight of the game was being on the jumbo screen for a few seconds. A first for all of us!
