It’s Mayday (and my mother-in-law’s birthday). Happy May Day, however you celebrate.
I’m celebrating by writing this email in a cafe and then picking up the littlest from her daycamp. And on Wednesday we all go to the magical Dutch theme park known as Efteling.
it’s been a busy period in our family, thanks to my intense course creation contract. Now done and available!
Next week Chiara starts a new full-time job, swinging the pendulum of family responsibility in my direction. So this week, while the girls are on on a school break, we’re enjoying a little rest in motion.

I’ve been busy putting together some courses: storytelling, writing, public speaking, improv. Some in-person, and some online. Check the list out here and see if you want to join any. I’ve also got a sheaf of corporate public speaking and storytelling workshops coming up in the next six weeks, so I’m immersed in all kinds of practicing up on stories and speaking.
Last email I teased that I’d be running a two-day improv and storytelling workshop in Italian. Well, it happened. And… it went pretty well! I had a lot of fun, and the participants did as well. My vocabulary and clarity sure flagged toward the end of the second day, but even knowing that we did fantastic. As you can imagine, I’m quite proud.
