Making Friends With Her Stutter
Posted by: Pamela Mertz on: March 19, 2012
A reader sent me this note recently. It made my day, so thought I would share it here with you!
Hi Pam,
We’ve never met before but we have something very much in common and that is we both stutter. This past year I’ve started on a new journey with my stutter as a friend instead of a monster. It feels so good. I’ve found your blog and podcast on the web and find it very intriguing. I was curious how you got started with that? What motivated you? It gives other PWS a chance to relate to how others cope and manage their stutter.
What I like is that you can listen to people who stutter carry on a conversation despite the stutter. That’s what gave me courage to keep moving forward. It gives us courage and hope. Keep it up.
Now I’m hoping to go to the NSA conference in Florida this year.
Thanks, Cindy
I wrote back to her and shared a little bit about how I got started with this blog and she wrote a little bit more about herself.She has never had much contact with others who stutter.
I am hoping she will indeed go to the NSA conference and make some strong and lasting connections.

It was all very touching. All that stutterung oeople have in common is both touching and joyful. Bengt
