"Modern-day fly fishing is generally catch and release.
There are definitely some lessons in the catching, but
more important are the lessons in learning how to release."

The Spokesperson E-Newsletter

 Hello Facilitator Friends!
I know it's late on Wednesday, but I think I can still squeeze in this newsletter before the sun sets on this day. Remember last week when I wrote the article on being 'Intentionally Full' instead of 'Busy?' Man have I been intentionally full the last few weeks! All good stuff, too.
Today I'm going to make this short and sweet and point you to my new podcast episode, What's Your Writing Process? I've gotten this question several times over the years, so Chris guided me through a series of questions that lets you hear the ins and outs for how my brain works and how I manage to go from ideas and thoughts to words on paper. I'm sure my process won't work for everyone, but if you are curious, give this episode a listen!
Best wishes for an Intentionally Full week!
Michelle

The Reel Sisters is a story about a group of women fly fishers written by Training Wheels founder, Michelle Cummings. In fly fishing, there are five main components to a fly rod, and there are five women in my story. Each of their personalities match a different characteristic of a fly fishing outfit. (rod, reel, line, leader and fly). The Reel Sisters is a story about the power of women friendships, and how we learn a little bit about ourselves each time we step into the river. Each character is on her own personal journey, and when difficult times hit, each woman weathers the storm in her own unique way. You'll be hooked from the start!
P.S. I do free Book Club chats with groups if you pick my book as your monthly read! Email me your date and time your group meets and I can Zoom in!
(I'll throw in some free bumper stickers on any order as well!)
