Today, I let it all out

Today, I let it all out Today, I did something I never did and thought that I probably never will; I went to people I know and deliberately talked to them about my stutter. It's been 20 years, life i...

I feel you pain. I'm sure we can all sympathize with feeling closed off from the world. Struggling with tasks that come naturally to others is emotionally taxing. Last year I was interviewing for jo...

Believe it or not, I've never attended any meetings hosted by the National Stuttering Association here in Boston, but I absolutely would love to begin doing so, and rather soon, if possible. In the me...

This very hat was custom-made to perfection. I am not sure if you currently reside within the United States, but I had this done at Lids, which can normally be found at most malls. I am not sure if al...
