CREATING A STORY OF THE SELF

We invite you to respond to the story invitation that closes this chapter. With your permission, these little stories will be posted on the website for 30 days after our receiving them. Depending on the volume of response, we cannot guarantee all submissions will be immediately posted, but it is our intent to share many different voices responding to the same question. This is a place for honoring the voice of humanity; please write respectfully of your experiences and the people who have shared them. You have a contribution limit of 200 words in this dialogue box.

We each create a story of the self that begins with our birth story, and then continues with what we remember, speak, and write about our own lives. We decide throughout this process what we want our lives to include and what kind of a legacy we want to leave behind, and then we are challenged to act on this story — to become who we say we are.

In those moments when you are listening to the story of yourself, what do you reclaim?
Let's start there.
Tell me that story.

Insert your story here...and please remember there is a 1500 character (approximately 200 word) limit. Thank you.
