something personal
Today was the last day of our seminar on Capturing Kids' Hearts. Not the touchy feely hold hands and sing kumbaya encounter I thought it would be. Interesting tips. good ideas all around.
One thing we did: Sentimental Circle.
We were to bring a sentimental item and share the story behind it. I took a picture of my nephew. the picture itself wasn't the sentimental item. Neither, really is my nephew, even though he's very important to me. But what he represents. I need to share this, so please don't make fun of me, or roll your eyes or think I'm a sap.
I said in an earlier post that I haven't shared much about my personal life, and really there's not much to tell. But this is the story that the picture of my nephew represents. Most of this took place over ten years ago, so sequence may be off, and I know I"ll forget things, but overall, this is the way it went.
( Chelle's Story )
Was that my story to tell? Probably not. But I want to put it out there for the simple reason that NOTHING is out of reach for ANYONE.
ETA:
My brother's name isn't Alex, but I'm trying to maintain his privacy. I can't remember if I've mentioned his name before in my journal, and if not, I'd like to keep it that way. His is a fairly unique name, and would probably turn up in searches, and I don't want that to happen. JIC.
