- Please write about a topic important to you.
- "I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within." –Lillian Smith There is something profoundly intriguing about the telling of a journey – whether it be travel to exotic locales; in-depth personal discovery; a meandering walk through a dense, rich forest; or the realization of lifelong dreams. Tell us about a journey – real, imagined, or metaphorical. Your journey starts here.
- "As a storyteller, as a human being, each one of us is one of a kind. And until we learn to celebrate our own unique style, culture, and gifts, we cannot appreciate the wealth of diversity around us." -Doug Lipman.
