“When you stand and share your story in an empowering way, your story will heal you and your story will heal somebody else.”

“It's very healing,' he said, 'to tell yourself your own story as though you were reciting a myth.”

“I’m not saying that you should deny the difficult events of your life. But the fact that you survived is also a wonderful story to tell. And that story, the story of the way you came through a difficult situation, found resources within yourself or outside of yourself, gleaned from that experience what you wanted and what you didn’t want going forward — that is a story that can inspire you and others to heal and grow.”

“Dream. Think. Believe. Pray. Do. Become. Then, share your story and inspire others. Share you story!”

“That is the power of a good story. It can encourage you, it can make you laugh, it can bring you joy. It will make you think, it will tap innto your hidden emotions, and it can make you cry. The power of a story can also bring about healing, give you peace, and change your life!" (p.15)”

“If you don't turn your life into a story, you just become a part of someone else's story.”
