Welcome to the next year of your life!
Every single year we say the same thing: “THIS is going to be my year. I can FEEL it!” And then we look back and categorize them into good years vs. the bad years depending on if things went our way. We are victims to our experiences whether we are satisfied with them or not… because we continue to give away our power.
Not this year.
The best way to ensure that you have an amazing year… is to rewrite your story and change your paradigms.
Check out these true inspirations:
❤︎ A veteran nearly drinks himself to death before writing a book that captures the horror of living through a war. The writing helps him turn his life around.
❤︎ A young mother who learns she has stage four cancer as she holds her newborn asks the author to help her write her story before she dies. She starts a blog, writes her memoir, and survives.
❤︎ A beautiful woman carries twenty years of rage inside until she begins to write and share poems revealing her brutal rape. Her writing transforms her life.
❤︎ A now-famous writer hikes the Pacific Crest Trail to recover from the pain of loss and divorce. She tells the author, “My writing gives me the greatest catharsis of my life.” She writes a book that changes both her life and the lives of her readers.
❤︎ A father, engulfed in the pain of losing his six-year-old son at Sandy Hook Elementary, explains to the author how writing letters for the Sandy Hook Promise has allowed him to hold on to treasured moments with his son and keep his own sanity.
True stories like these are the heart of The Story You Need to Tell: Writing to Heal from Trauma, Illness, or Loss written by author Sandra Marinella. Upon facing breast cancer in 2012, she decided to leave teaching and write to heal. And she did.
During four years of research Marinella interviewed more than 100 writers. These unsung heroes share their painful stories and shed light on how writing can change us and redefine the way we live.
Writing to Heal
Expressive writing offers us physical, psychological, and social benefits. Studies in neuroscience has proven that our brains are wired for stories that define us and give us meaning. When we learn to “rewrite” or edit our personal stories, we transform ourselves as well as the lives of others.

If you can never get enough true crime...
The Piketon Massacre
On the night of April 21, 2016 in rural Piketon, Ohio - eight members of the Rhoden family were viciously murdered execution style in their homes. Two years later in 2018, their neighbors, the Wagners, were arrested and charged with committing the largest massacre in Ohio’s history. Shocked by the arrests, this once close-knit and religious community remains divided and unable to cope. Was a respected and reputable Piketon family responsible for this unimaginable murder spree? Our team will examine the deep ties that connected both families. We’ll examine the evidence and possible motives for the crimes. For the first time we’ll speak with townspeople, psychological experts, respected investigators, friends and members of both families. Are the Wagners responsible for the murders, and if convicted, will they be executed? Or is it possible that there is still a murderer at large waiting to kill again?
