Michigan University Presentation

Spoke to 15 undergraduate students earlier this week on LGBTQ Issues, Care Giving, End of Life Decisions, Cultural Lenses on Such, and the law. We also screened ALZHEIMER'S: A Love Story. Received this thank you from the class's instructor.

Thursday I was able to process your talk with the students and they were all very moved. It was fascinating to hear what each of them took away-- stories about knowing yourself truly, inspiration on how to love deeply, counseling on grieving, a skepticism about the law as the only way to solve social issues, and many more.

Over all they felt they had a much better sense of the issues we had been exploring in class because they now had a face and a life to link them to. They were also very impressed with your courage to share your story with so many. 

Thank you so much for coming to share with us. It was a great gift of time and energy and was so appreciated by me and my students. 

Thank you for your enthusiasm and generosity. I hope we will see you in the not too distant future. Best wishes on your October road trip and your Mexico writing retreat. 

Many hugs until next time
