Good morning, Lovelies…

I have been re-reading one of my favourite authors over the last few weeks. I very rarely re-read anything, as I have stacks of new books that are waiting to be read! But Richard Wagamese is different. He was an Ojibway Canadian author and journalist and has won many awards and even had one of his books made into a movie. I find his words to be so powerful and transformative. Here are some I want to share with you…

All that we are is story. From the moment we are born to the time we continue on our journey, we are involved in the creation of the story of our time here. It is what we arrive with. It is all we leave behind. We are not the things we accumulate. We are not the things we deem important. We are story. All of us. What comes to matter then is the creation of the best possible story we can while we’re here; you, me, us, together. When we can do that and we take the time to share those stories with each other, we get bigger inside, we see each other, we recognize our kinship – we change the world, one story at a time…

-Richard Wagamese

I hope you take the time to create the best possible story you can, especially under the circumstances.  I continue to miss you all and the stories we get to share and make together.  🙂
