I love stories.

I love to read, to get lost in a story. Lately, the stories I love the most are those of people I know.

Love.

Loss.

Pain.

Healing.

All of those, in any order. Or maybe none of those.

Story is what connects people to one another. It’s what makes us finally realize we’re not alone. It’s often the key that opens the door to healing…to living life well.

Connection.

Understanding.

Empathy.

Grace.

Removing the mask and revealing the story buried beneath is what allows shackles to fall at our feet.

Have you told your story to anyone lately?
