[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.

Swim In Your Dream
Swim in your dream as far as you can until you find an island. Tell us the results.
Sara Elkamel
I have been swimming in my dream for years. Swimming in my dream looks like heading to the heat in life’s game of hot and cold. Swimming in my dream looks like playing in life’s magic. Swimming in my dream looks like finding miracles every day. Swimming in my dream looks like paying attention. Swimming in my dream looks like doing it anyway. Swimming in my dream looks like connecting with breath.
Swimming in my dream means keeping going until I find an island — an island of progress, an island of celebration, an island of reflection, an island of stillness and knowing.
My writing is the result.
