Faces of Ripe Fruit Writing…

I cannot believe how rapidly I am growing as a writer.

What Leslie is doing is incredible. It is clear that she has compassion in her soul. Her honesty is what makes her a great mentor. She sets up a very comfortable and safe space and then she pushes people to reach deeper inside of them then maybe they ever have. She has created something very unique and empowering for her students.
