As parents, we are expected to be the ones 'in charge,' and that is obvious most of the time. However, we are merely human, and we still have much to learn. When we open our minds and ears to listening, truly listening, to our children, or watching them, we can learn so much from them.

Our children are unique and singular human beings. They contain seeds of wisdom that they will share with us, if we are open to receiving.

Under the umbrella of CounterStory Media, we have several existing projects:

Adoptere- written word from the exclusive perspective of adoptees and birth mothers.

Served- written word from the exclusive perspective of US military veterans

Deconstructing Dogma- written word from those exploring their spiritual journey during or after leaving an organized religion

New: Our Appalachian Spirit: an upcoming charity anthology sharing the works of Appalachian authors, poets, and artists.

Thank you so much for joining me, and I hope you enjoy this season of The Light at the Other Side.
