Despair is our chance to wrestle with fire and come through.

Our desires teach us who we are and who we want to become. Our desires shape our stories.

in writing we live life twice: once in the experience, and again in recording and reflecting upon our experience.

Spiritual empowerment is evidenced in our lives by our willingness to tell ourselves the truth, to listen to the truth when it's told to us, and to dispense truth as lovingly as possible, when we feel compelled to talk from the heart.

Spiritual energy brings compassion into the world.

In the midst of overwhelming noise and distraction, the voice of story is calling us to remember our true selves.

Story is the mother of us all. First we wrap our lives in language and then we act on who we say we are. We proceed from the word into the world and make a world based on our stories.
