Here’s Your Chance

How often do we miss, lose out on the chance to get some stories from a loved one or to know the stories running through our hearts?

We are too busy, and then someone gets sick, or their memory fails or any dozen excuses. I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of peoples’ stories getting lost and forgotten. It’s a crying shame, and my mission has been to get your stories into books - fast, easy and affordable with beautiful content inside because they’re your stories.

Our stories nourish us, your family and anyone else who reads the stories. We want these stories in a book that can be easily read between grandparent and grandchild, sit on our coffee table t Read More

Beyond

Grant and I made it a point to take in my birthday, my sixtieth year with joy. We took the ferry over from Edmonds to Kingston the same time I took it when I worked at Poulsbo Elementary.

We drove to Hansville, to Point No Point Lighthouse and watched the fishermen trying to catch salmon. We walked the beach and saw Seattle from a distance in the fog. We didn’t look too closely at the large city in the mist. It was irrelevant for today. We stopped at Hansgrill Hansville Grocery for a sit. I had a latte and Grant had Mexican coke and a fudgsicle. It was only te Read More

More Than Satisfying

I felt a breeze, an energetic, imaginative breeze and know I am getting my birthday wish. I know that my company is going to grow way beyond me so that there will be storytelling hubs around the world where people talk and a write heart memory practitioner listens to them in complete attention and a hand-crafted experience of their stories will be in a book. I feel it in my bones. This visionary breeze is manifesting, and it is more than satisfying to know that I listened to my heart and soul and what I am supposed to do.

I launched my Indiegogo campaign yesterday. It’s a crowd Read More

Are You Suffering?

Most of us are, but we can’t admit it to ourselves. Suffering takes many forms, and for most of us it involves a world where change is constant, and the loss of people, treasured values, and a complex world is omnipresent. We don't like to admit this to our consciousness, that our hearts are hurting so we keep ourselves busy, get involved in perpetual motion and search for that physician, the nurse, the shaman or healer that is going to take this aching loneliness out of our bones.

Suffering happens with transitions to change. Since change is a constant, this suffering is painful to stabilize. Remember how long it took you to get over a loved one’s death? Or think of the first time you lost a loved one and reali Read More

I’ll Never Get This

I never glimpsed the inner core of my mom, and I don’t have her stories I can read in a book to celebrate her birthday today. I do have her poems, and I’ll make that into a book. But if I could have anything from Mom, it’d be her stories, the heart of her stories from her perspective.

Our relationship was rocky at best. I loved my mom, but I kept my distance because we were so much alike. I hated how sensitive she was and could feel peoples’ feelings. Yes, she was empathetic, and so am I. That means she took in peoples’ feelings and processed them and moved to such Read More
