Changing our perspectives allows us to shift from the mental trap of rumination -- or ruination -- to the empowerment of reflection.

Our writing can transform us.

Writing not only helps us make sense of living; it can help transform us.

Successfully writing our way through our hardships allows us to rediscover and fully experience our creativity.

Your personal writing can heal, grow, and transform your life. Give your words permission to change you.

And similar to writing our stories, sharing our stories holds the same promise of healing -- and connecting us. . . This process, too, will change you.

If we want to write to heal, our words matter -- especially our positive words.

Experience your pain. Embrace your silence. When the time feels right, find your way back to your words -- and write.

Our story is the medium we use to interpret our life experiences and make sense of them.
