This is a fantastic talk and a great reason why more of us need to tell our stories. Listen and let me know what you think.

This is beautiful. I’m grateful to have listened, because it put into words my hesitation in telling my own story. I can’t bear the thought if someone saying, “Oh, she’s had a hard life.” The hard things are often what makes one a better person, a more compassionate person and a more mature person. But it is only one story. It does not tell of the wonderful life lived in the midst of the hard things.
Now, how will that insight change my writing? Or does the problem rest with the reader?
