When I share a story from my life, I am consumed with emotion. I am fully in the moment. I am in the story. I often experience the sweat and tears that bring great meaning to the story. Telling stories heals us.
There are stories about my daughter Ashley that repeat often. I repeat the story to invite my listeners to be fully human. Because Ashley is so fragile and vulnerable, I comfortably share my vulnerability. Each retelling of Ashley's story brings enhanced meaning to the experience. I continue sharing the story that opens my heart and invites listeners to open their hearts. Each retelling brings me back to her angelic eyes and the Divine presence that fills her life.
I never really know what I am going to say. The story tells itself, it reveals my essence and it saves my life again and again and again.
