    Gabrielle and Pamela's Diary

    Gabrielle Blackwell was 28 when she wrote me a letter about a secret diary that she discovered in her mother's drawer as a young child.  If this were only about a secret diary, it would be a good story.  But this is so much more than that.  It's about mothers and daughters, about the secrets we carry, and how sometimes an ordinary object can become an extraordinary tool for healing. This episode was produced by Jessica Terrell, April Estrellon, and Lisa Weiss. Consulting was provided by John Barth. Music was provided by Blue Dot Sessions. Initial production development was provided by Isoke Samuel and John Sepulvado.  Thank you to Jill Barancik, Jeanine Cornillot, Charity Elder, and Kerry Donahue for your notes and feedback.  Thank you to Gabrielle and Pamela Blackwell for sharing your story and for so graciously modeling how to have difficult conversations with ourselves and the people we care about.  Special thanks in memoriam to Stan Weiss, who inspired the series. May his memory be a blessing.  ---------------- Bring an Object Diaries workshop to your community or workplace.

    Stan's Toys

    Some people seem to hold on tightly to things.  Others could throw most everything away.  I'm a bit of a hoarder.  I hold on to a lot of objects because they remind me of people I care about. And I just can't let go.  I trace a lot of my obsession with objects to my father who died of cancer in 2023.  I sat down with him, before he got really sick, to talk about a toy collection that meant a lot to both of us.  Through talking about his toys, I learned a lot about my father, and myself.  This episode was produced by Jessica Terrell, April Estrellon, and Lisa Weiss.
