I help adults, and children, stoke their creativity. However, over time I circled back around and now I coach people on how to share their stories. I didn’t have enough support around me to help me walk through that door, so my early careers went in a different direction. Persuasive writing and story opened doors for me as a child. Reach a kid through story, and you will change the world. Use pens, hope, and words to ignite and nurture the potential of our children, and ourselves. Sponsor and plant libraries and theaters in developing communities. If you’re a writer, publish stories, an actor, perform story. So this is my challenge, if you are a teacher, speak story. Even as adults, we can tell stories, and sometimes those stories provide healing as well as a creative outlet. You and I can champion the creativity and strengths within each child. ![]() ![]() CD, DVD, VHS tape, software, video game, cassette tape, or vinyl record that has been opened ![]() There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted (if applicable) Please do not send your purchase back to the manufacturer.
