[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.

We must stay alive/ to our place in the family// of green & breathing things
Victoria Adukwei Bulley, Air
that use even our sighs/ to make sweetness from light.
What grace. Allow what is simple// to be simple. Accept it as/ truth. Quiet as it’s kept/ we help the trees to breathe too.
We are interconnected. We are interconnected. We are interconnected.
We are powerful like breath. We are strong like truth. We are wise like curiosity. We are impermanent like energy. We are knowing like the stars.
We break wide open. We heal. We get it right and wrong. We lose and find. We start and stop. We build and tear down. We learn. We connect. We grow.
About Katie
From Louisville. Live in Atlanta. Curious by nature. Researcher by education. Writer by practice. Grateful heart by desire.
