Introduction		Questions 1-10		Questions 11-20

The goal of this project is to collect a series of 12 personal stories from DIRI practitioners that demonstrate both the career value and personal satisfaction experienced from being trained in the DIRI school. The stories will be uploaded to the DIRI website as a resource, tool and point of inspiration to engage, interest and inspire potential applicants in DIRI training.

That’s where you come in. DIRI would like to share your story so others can experience the journey that led you to, DIRI. To assist, DIRI has brought on Dana Fabbro (writer: www.conceptdna.net) to work hand in hand and help guide, motivate and craft your story.

Hi – that’s me, I'm Dana Fabbro. I’m a full-time writer which means every day I think “Wait, I can’t write a story, commercial, print ad, etc”. I know firsthand how daunting the question, “Will you write this?”, can feel.

So instead of asking you to write, I’m going to simply ask you to remember.

Remember what inspires you, makes you smile, makes you frustrated, led you to question life, to be engaged in a path of healing, caring for others, bringing proper alignment back to good bodies, gone wrong.

To start, here’s a list of 20 questions - give them a read. Then go treat your client. Or change the oil in your car, trail hike. And at some point - jot down whatever comes to mind. Let yourself respond honestly to whatever the question provokes or inspires. Trust what organically comes out of you. That’s your “answer”.

Then, fill in the little bits of story that connect one part of your journey to the next. If it helps, we can talk on the phone to help spark memories, connect life-events to each other and talk through key journey points in your life-path. Each story will be 500-750 words in length (1 – 1.5 pages in word.doc).

You’ll be surprised how quickly 500 memories-into-words come to you. Enjoy.
