Stories

Everyone loves a good story. Stories have the ability to travel, illuminate, inspire and even heal. You cannot know the effect your story might have on others, how deeply it may touch them. 

A story is a medicine that greases and hoists the pulleys, 
shows us the way out, down, in and around, 
cuts for us fine wide doors in previously blank walls, 
doors which lead us to our own knowing.
~  Clarissa Pinkolah Estes
