of your life story. You will be sent home each week with your theme, write approximately
two pages of your life story on that theme at home, and then share it the following
week. Notebooks, handouts, and pens are provided - but if you prefer to type, bring
a laptop or iPad. Instructor Liana Henry is a Certified GAB Instructor and Principal,
