About
LIFE JOURNEYS is a group of writers living in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and from across the world. An original magazine was published in February of 2020 with stories by a group of women who were participating in Eden Prairie Schools' Family School for English Language Learners program. The original PDF is available here.
The stories on this site were written from April to June 2020 as part of a series of writing workshops in one Family School English class, made up mostly of women who have come to Eden Prairie from various places in India. Writers touch on themes of family, tradition, and the changes in life that have come about since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. They offer both their memories and their opinions on life, change, and the unexpected. The stories teach us about the traditions, values, and memories of each writer, and encourage us in their honesty to reflect on our own experiences in these unexpected times.
