[The Stage is on Fire] is a page-turner in which, much like life, there are no easy answers and yet each step of the journey yields insight and hope. This work of heart must not be missed!

Katie Steedly’s first-person piece [The Unspeakable Gift] is a riveting retelling of her participation in a National Institutes of Health study that aided her quest to come to grips with her life of living with a rare genetic disorder. Her writing is superb.

I thank you … It is the authenticity of your “class notes”; and it is the delicacy and skill with which you present the nuances of classroom life and the actuality of your students’ and fellow teachers’ lives.

Let’s fall in love II
Let’s fall in love like we never did before or Like we did and learned from it all.
Dawn Lanuza
What if falling in love means learning from it all? I am reminded of a beginner’s mind. I am reminded that we — all of us — walk hand-in-hand. I am reminded that a fist or knot or rock can’t fall in love. I am reminded that the light of falling in love is like morning. I am reminded that the rhythm of falling in love is like the tide. I am reminded of shipwrecks that become coral reefs. I am reminded that constellations guided explorers. I am reminded that falling in love might be life’s greatest gift.
About Katie
From Louisville. Live in Atlanta. Curious by nature. Researcher by education. Writer by practice. Grateful heart by desire.
