Story-telling is a form of communication that has been used forgenerations. They are a wonderfulway to express our thoughts. Reading someone’s experiences can make us feel better especially if we are experiencing a similar situation. To quote author, Stewart O’Nan, “All stories teach us something, and promise us something,whether they’re true or invented, legend or fact.”

We all have a story and the ending of our it depends solely on us. To quote Author,Mary McCarthy, “We are the hero of our own story.” It is our hopethat by reading these that they will motivate or inspire you to be the hero of your story! And, remember “your life is a story make it a best seller”.

We also offer reviews of Inspirational Books which contain our thoughts on books that we have read, many of them tell a story that can help you see situations in a different perspective. To quote Bell Hooks, “Life-transforming ideas have always come to me through books.”

Barry Lopez once said, “If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive.” Share our messages with those who could benefit from them.
