Welcome to Audio Scribe! I want to use this space to share how I came to create Audio Scribe, my YouTube Channel where I read letters that I have written.
Sometimes I have a difficult time expressing my personal thoughts and feelings verbally. When this happens, I tend to write letters. I have written letters to my close friends that I see daily, when I was married, I even sometimes wrote letters to my husband although we lived together. I am sometimes challenged by writing these letters because having been diagnosed with dyslexia I often fear that what I really want to say may not even be on the page or clear enough for the reader to understand. Yet, having the opportunity to express myself with out the back and forth of a conversant, or being concerned if this is the right time, or will they ask a lot of questions after I tell them what I have to say. All if this sometimes can be paused in the moment I sit down to write. Then the thoughts and feelings that are repeating in my mind can be expressed and I can clear my head. I also get to decide if I am going to give the letter to the intended recipient or if I just needed to write. Needless to say, I have written many letters of the years.
When schools and daycares closed in March as a result of Covid-19, I began writing letters. I wanted a way to document for my son what was happening in a way that he would be able to understand when he gets a little older. I also had other things and ideas
Stirring in me. Things I was feeling as a result of the circumstances, my own anxieties, and creative urges. When I thought I want to just share my letters as a podcast I was lucky enough to have friends who encouraged me. I have since shifted to the YouTube channel below. Here, I just want to share thoughts around topics, and read letters. My goal is to share 40 letters once a week for 40 weeks. If your open please subscribe.
I welcome feedback, letters, other points of view, and all things that can expand my understanding and help me to grow. If you have a letter you would like to share please feel free. Please forward any comments to bodysongllc@gmail.com Thank you!
