"Because words are important to me, I always like to start out a lot of my classes with a quote or something to think about. I came across this one, which is from Confucius. It says, "Words are the voice of the heart." I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately as I’ve been getting ready for this class and as I’ve been planning out the different prompts that we’re going to have throughout the year, and I loved the visual of this. The kind of idea of words coming out of the heart and that words give voice to our hearts. It’s just something that I really enjoyed and wanted to make sure that I shared with you as we begin the class this year." -Ali Edwards
