DO You Want to REMEMBER AND DO WHAT MATTERS?

Begins June 1.   REMEMBER AND DO WHAT MATTERS.


Jane K, an author, wrote after she REMEMBERed, “I am a firecracker in Maryanne's classes. She lights the fuse and the explosion that follows against a night sky is full of color surprise organized joy renewed faith. It's what life long learning should be. Much gratitude!” 


REMEMBER is divided into three action blocks. On line with feedback, a secret Facebook group, surprises along the way and a google hangout.  The first week follows a model called Radmacher Focus Phrase™. Prose writers...you can do this with one hand tied behind your back.  The second week is a “research” week. In this week you “show up and take notes,” following the daily guidance. LIst makers? This is where you shine.  The third week is a process that teaches you how to reach for those elusive answers. Those willing to have deep reflection - this is your zenith. And this is the segment where it all ties together and you - experience change  you can’t possibly anticipate now. We don’t know WHAT it is - only THAT it is. Even if you don’t LOVE writing, these 22 days hold some powerful gifts for you.


22 days. Accessing a breadth of process and skills. Skills that you will use again.  Discovery. Ah-ha. Change. Resistance. Embracing your Must out of your Much. Surprise. What can I guarantee? This is a lot of boo-yah for your buck. $99 is because I love the people I guide and the times are tough.  This is the most economical process I’ve offered in years. If your heart gives you the impulse, I suggest you seize it. Register now. Spaces are first registered first taken. I will not “hold spots” but I will make a list for “next time.”


PayPal. My payment address is maryanneradmacher7@gmail.com  or if you are new to PayPal I can send you an invoice to make it easier.  Wanna?  Speak up. Now.

"Again"

there is blood on the ground.
there is more blood on the ground.
the mothers are weeping.   again.
the fathers are grieving. steeling those
sobs which will only come when they
feel safe to weep.           again.

there is blood on the ground.
there is more danger beating on doors.
stay inside and hope to not hear a knock.
the mothers are ready to take up arms.
the fathers fear for their children. each
whisper a prayer every time the child
must journey out. 
they fear and try to assure themselves
the proportional odds, the times they
have returned safely, the certainty that
these things happen to other people.
until it happens to them.     again.

we rage.
we weep.
we light candles.
we buy guns.
we watch the news.
we snap at the grocery clerk because
    we are afraid to walk to our car.
we ask questions.
we rail at the silence.
we pray even if we’ve been prayer-less.
we lock our doors.
we turn off the news because we cannot
bear more smoke, fire, shots,
explosions,  loss.        again..

there is blood on the ground.
there is anxiety in the collective soul of our land.
there is the reach of community and reminders of
what we really believe butting up against the
grief.  and we commit to good. we rekindle
kindness. we extend ourselves to strangers.
we do the impossible and face the fear and
stand up, stretch out our arms and put
them around a shoulder that is closest.
we become, together, more than we are alone.
                                  again.

Write to Remember

This piece is available as a numbered, signed print, in a short run...contact me if you are interested in one.
When you look at all the little "write" images hear, "Scritch, scritch," or "tap, tap, tap."

write to make sense of experiences.
write to learn as much as you can from the all and the everything.
write because words and ideas are fascinating.
write because exploring concepts is play.
write to synthesize discoveries and make them practical. or relevant.
write to become the best version of yourself.
write to find your own power and in that process, empower others.
write to inspire, motivate, comfort, facilitate, discover,
communicate, create & connect.
In this scratching, this making of marks - find diverse ways
to make colorful, beautiful, lasting marks on the
pages of your days.
write to remember and do what matters.
