A simple way to kickstart your storytelling

It's been a tough couple of years. It would be easy to think we're living in story of despair or breakdown, but what if we want it to be different?

If our stories create our future, then let's start with the stories that will make a difference. 

Stories remind us of good times we've had, memories we've gathered, and what we've learned through the tough times.

We CAN change the world. One love story at a time…

It's simple and easy. Every day for 28 days, you'll receive a digital postcard with a short prompt.

Use it to think about a memory, a story or an appreciation. Write it down and send it to someone you care about. There's no better time then now for us to remind each other who we can be together.

P.S. This is also a quick and easy way to begin to work with your own stories and unleash your creativity!

Online starting April 22

THRIVE!

“I know it’s time to think bigger, to step into my power, to rise to the next level. I want 2024 to be my year, but I don’t know how!”

Something is calling for change. The old ways of being and working just aren't working anymore.

Maybe it's the job that doesn't fit. Maybe it's an outworn identity that's too small and no longer serving.
