These include Frolic's Dance and Beezus and Ramona’s Diary. Another book, Tryin’ To Get To You/ The Story of Elvis Presley, was a young adult/adult book. I have been an instructor for the Long Ridge Writers’ Institute on writing and selling for the juvenile audience. I have been consulting on writing, publishing, and creativity issues for years. Second free event:MOVIES & OUR SOUL JOURNEYS, an online course in two sessions When we enter the dark cave of the movie theater, we give ourselves over to the art of storytelling for a couple of hours. Many of us crave this experience, calling it an “escape.” But even in comedies timeless themes are evoked: Who are we, where are we going, and who is going with us? Let’s have a dialogue about one movie that you feel speaks to a situation in your life. This discussion is for anyone who is curious about, even fascinated by the mythic power of movies. Third free event: For those of you over 60, put together a "bucket list" and let's discuss how you can take action and leave a legacy for future generations. INFORMATION

"I found Valerie's Intensive Journaling class to be very instructive and evocative. Valerie's caring and sensitivity to the class encouraged self-exploration. She provided strategies for us to continue gaining insights into ourselves." ~ Barbara Labovitz Boik, Bozeman, MT "I have benefitted in many ways from the introspective Journal Workshops offered by Valerie Harms--and always in ways that are new and unexpected. I wholeheartedly recommend the work to everyone, no matter how seasoned at journaling or accustomed to self-reflection. I always leave with a new perspective and a thankful heart." ~ Gena Funk *** "The personal life deeply lived always extends into truths beyond itself." - Anais Nin "It is not half so important to know as to feel. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow." - Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder "We are partners in this land/co-signers of a covenant." - Stanley Kunitz |
