Our stories are held deep inside the cells and tissue of the body. Given the right
invitation, they may be released and written into the world.
Ethical Wills are often an emotional companion to a formal, legal will. They can be written, recorded on CD, or video taped. They express, in your own words, the values and meaning that you held in your life and what you hope you have contributed to this life. They make a touching emotional legacy to live to your family. Phone, in-person, or email consulting on how to write your ethical wills, $35.00 per hour. Arrange a small class for $50.00 an hour. Minneapolis classes will be listed soon.
"Grandma, read me a story!" My son adored his time in Grandma Vivie's lap reading The Foot Book, the Tasha Tudor Books, anything he could lift into her lap. When she was diagnosed with terminal cancer my son said to her, "Don't worry Grandma, God will read to you," reassuring her that she would never be alone in the journey of great literature! I never imagined that I would have another baby, and now my almost two year old loves the same books that Grandma Viv read to Aidan. Although I have many of her life stories recorded on CD, if I had it to do again, I would have had her read all of the books she and Aidan shared, and would be playing them for my little guy, Finn. What a joy it would be to hear her voice saying, "Left Foot, Left Foot, Left Foot, Right. Feet in the morning, feet at night." My husband and I are committed to making that opportunity available to you. We come to your home, set up a high-end, in-home studio for you, and record your readings.
Cost: $50.00 per hour includes sound engineering and 2 copies of the CD.
I welcome submissions on the process of being with the dying, being with death, and grief for a book that I am working on with my friend Jean Madsen of Portages. Please email me if you are interested in sharing your own story. |
