I am a Storytelling Creature, I was born to tell stories.

Our very consciousness is a long repeated internal story about who we are, where we came from, and what we want. A recent article in the Los Angeles Times pointed out that, “Academics trace the idea of writing as therapy to the time of Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II, about 1,200 BC.” Your desire to write is ancient, important, and worth pursuing as a part of your regimen of self-acceptance and spiritual health.

The Amazing Health Benefits of Writing

I want to magnify the findings of amazing scientific research in the news about how storytelling affects people. Tara Parker-Pope in The New York Times wrote, “Studies have shown that writing about oneself and personal experiences can improve mood disorders, help reduce symptoms among cancer patients, improve a person’s health after a heart attack, reduce doctor visits and even boost memory.” It turns out this magical health elixir can be practiced with simple paper and a pencil.
