The Power in Our Stories

Posted on by stilllearning2b

Have you ever realized how powerful your story is?

We craft them and then they shape us, each imprinting upon the other until it unclear where we end and our stories begin.

We use our stories to inform others of our core selves and beliefs.

We use our stories as parables, passing along wisdom and advice.

We use our stories to inspire others, transmitting hope and motivation.

We use our stories to find clarity and purpose in life’s events.

But we also use our stories to guide ourselves into becoming what we desire.

Our stories are powerful alone and even more powerful together.

 

I’m excited about this selection of upcoming guest bloggers. It is a diverse group – men, women, parents, childless, fresh from divorce and further along the path. I hope you enjoy them but, even more, I hope their stories help you grow and enrich your own.

I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to those that shared their posts and also to those who read them. Life – and blogging – is better with friends!

Take care of each other and I’ll “see” you soon.

Guest Posters Wanted

I’m stealing this idea from Matt over at Must Be This Tall to Ride. He has lots of good ideas. And this is one of them.

I’m going to be away from my computer for a week or so next month. Instead of trying to write posts ahead of time while writing them for now (yikes!) or recycling my old stuff (yawn…) or letting the site go dark for several days (scary!!!!), I’m looking for guest posts to feature.

Lots of you are writing some great stuff about topics that relate to my site and from a different perspective than I have (like those of you with kids – tip of the hat to those who tackle parenting).

Please, please, please write something for me!?!

Here are the specifics:

-Posts can be any length, but I would prefer that the content be original (not already published on your blog).

-The topic is up to you; however, I won’t publish something that is simply ex-bashing with no greater purpose (although I commiserate!)

-Please proofread before you send; I’m the world’s worst at picking up (and making!) typos.

-Include any pictures that you want with your post, a short bio and links to your site and any other social media you use.

-For those of you that blog anonymously, that’s no problem. Just craft your bio how you want:)

-email your submission to lessonsfromendofmarriage@gmail.com by July 2 (procrastinators – that’s a hard deadline!!).

-If I like it and think it’s a good fit, I’ll set it to publish on my site with links on all of my social media and I’ll let you know the date that it will go live.

Thanks in advance and I look forward to seeing some great work!
