An After Thought Leads to Friendship

I did an event to raise awareness of my Healing Through Story mission. Most of the passerbys were people who love to take photos. Every now and then someone would be touched by one of our stories, such as "My Last Conversation with Mom". One woman lingered. She read one story, then stepped aside as I talked with another visitor. We chatted a little, then she read another. We chatted some more and then she left. A little while later I saw her lingering at the entrance and we talked some more. She was deeply moved by the books I had on display, and I didn't dare tell her I had so many more I didn't have room to put out. It turns out that she is a therapist. She saw right away the healing power of the books - those who have created it and those that have received it. She runs groups helping people realize their dreams through The Secret and discussed incorporating vision cards and vision boards into her groups, along with many other uses. I thought about her as I drove home and how quickly she got the message, the healing, the power of story. I can tell you without talking to her, that she did not sleep that night, as there was an email from her early the next morning wanting to join in the Healing Through Story mission. I am blessed to be able to share this story and this mission to others.

A Mission of the Heart

My mission is to help as many people heal through story that I can. I need the help of therapists, social service organizations, parents, healers, survivors to help me with this journey. It is not one that is easy. It is not one that is quick. It is one of great rewards, mostly emotional as you touch the lives of others, healing their hearts.

This mission involves training on how to interview and write stories. I will provide that. This mission does involve compensation, knowing the commission of products will go to organizations in need, or compensating journey goers for their time. This mission involves dedication to healing those who have a great story to tell. This mission involves those who are willing to take in other's pain and glory and provide them with a most magnificent book that has more value than is imaginable.

If this is you, please join us. Tune into our call on Monday.

Happy Mother's Day

I was recently forwarded a video of about an animal that took on the mothering duties of babies that were not her own. What possesses an individual to choose such altruism? Humans do this every time an adoption occurs. Yet it is taken for granted most of the time. It is something to be honored, noted and taught. It is something to be preserved. If you have an adoption story, I want to talk with you.

Happy Mother's Day to all.





Hospice needs our books

While doing a scrapbooking event this weekend, I met a woman whom we chatted with for a long time about our books. When I asked her about what she did, she replied that she owned a hospice. I explained the healing nature of our books, and the tremendous need for every person who received hospice services needs to write their life story, she agreed. Whether or not hospice is in someone's life, their story needs to be written. Hospice only sets a more urgency, and a timeline of when it needs to be completed. If you know someone who has hospice services, I encourage you to contact them today to write their story. When we speak of writing your story, and someone pops in your mind, I encourage you to call them and we can set up a conference call on how to get started on their life story. Do it now. Take the time.

Everyone has a story to tell.
