Your Story Is Your Story- What will you write next?
“I used to feel ashamed of my story. I felt like other people’s past chapters were titled things like, “Skipping Through Fields with a Happy Golden Retriever” and my chapters were like, “Crawling Through Darkness with a Bunch of Scary Monsters..” I also kept trying to find someone ELSE to write my story for me.” I let other people write weird things that made me sad. I let people write things that didn’t resonate with me….Then one day I took my pen back. (Also, I made friends with those monsters and now we are skipping through fields together and we are fabulous!)
Magical post/poem, Rachel Griffin! And thanks Chris Graham for pointing me here!

I wrote the words below to myself to feel better about my story and what I will write next. What do you want to write next in the story of your life?
Your life is a book
and it’s time for you
to take your pen…
