    Michelle is it best for us to have a copy of the book? If so I am thinking of purchasing a used copy due to my finances. That said it might be note infested and make me confused. Your thoughts? TIA 😀

    That all of the BEST classes with Michelle work for me. That she is qualified after years of instructing and helping BI for us that have them. That this class could offer something to me that I have yet to be taught and I am excited to have an opportunity to enjoy reading again. I also know that there are parts of the day that I read better and will do most of my reading in the earlier part of the day. ✅

    January 13, 2024 at 3:06 pm in reply to: Week 1 – What's my purpose?

    My purpose is to try and slow-down my brain from moving to fast once I start. Not sure if it was because I was taught speed reading at a young age and I have become pre-disposed but my eyes won’t follow the line I am reading since the accident. I sometimes really struggle to pay attention to what I am reading. Nothing is wrong with my eyes and I have not been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. In my mind it feels something like I have heard with those diagnosis. I hate that I am jumping all over especially when I was a great reader. Now I use audio and read with it. Seems to pace me but I don’t feel great about that option. I just want to read when I want…Happily again.

    I’m Lawrie, originally from MA but reside in VA. I acquired my injury 3/17/2020. Instantly died from a car landing on me while I was driving on the opposite side of the highway going 95mph. After life support and a coma I finally emerged with multiple injuries. Life will never be the same. I have many challenges. Tis set up today was awful for me but I ma here after 25 min of attempting. No zoom or words will be close to impossible if its this way. I may have to bow out of its silence with us interpetting. Can’t do it yet.

    Hi! Is there a specific spot you will have the pdfs for the classes. This is last weeks spot and I found the other for today. Just know they are 2 different spots. Came here first under discussions….learning curve again. Haha. I thought the class page had a specific area unless I am super confused. Thanks in advance.

    it’s all good over here- thank you! Maybe he will do something for you since you incorporate his book- a previous student. That is quite nice to bear witness to.

    Hi. I am attempting to learn my option(s) to message you on here. This will have to do: Do you have an edit option to our posts on your list for things needed? I truly wish I could edit my posts right now. My confusion was immense yesterday. 😜

    Hi there! Thank you. I often do the same…have audio versions. SOOOOOO Helpful but I am reading along with them. I want to slow my brain down….I can’t keep my eyes on the correct line to read. It will get better. Today is the webinar. Yesterday was day 1 of our reading plan. Busy BEST weekend.

    I am brutally confused. No video with the reading program. I am fully lost. Cannot do all this without video and communication via a voice. TIA
