Telling Your Life, Changes Your Life: The Healing Power of Story
Telling your life, changes your life.
Story is the Road to Truth
“The Master was unmoved. To all their objections he would say, ‘You have yet to understand, my dears, that the shortest distance between a human being and Truth is a story.’ ”
— Anthony de Mello in One Minute Wisdom
The Power of Story
“A story is told eye to eye, mind to mind, and heart to heart.” Scottish proverb
Express Yourself
Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.

Listen for the gems casually thrown out as their love and respect for the power of the word and the stories about us they tell is revealed in the artful and playful dialogue. Pick the emeralds and diamonds out of the air and hold them for a lifetime of wealth and beauty.
Sometimes trickery heals.
How’s this for a writing lesson?
