    I found Julie's workshop on Spill the Beans very interesting.  She had a relaxed and conversational style and the fact that it was a Zoom meeting didn't seem to inhibit the flow.  The exercise was a lot of fun and it was amazing to hear so many different responses to the prompt.  Pippa

    That was fabulous! You are a great speaker and I really enjoyed the writing.  Well done! Lori


     Congratulations, Julie on a great session today!  It was entertaining and moving to hear other people's responses to the themes.  I think we all learnt new things.  Helen
