[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.

A Thanksgiving Prayer
On this day, we remember our interconnection and interdependence.
May we breathe in peace and breathe out love.
May we know clarity of purpose and vision.
May we feel the strength and promise of healthy bodies, minds, and spirits.
May we create and build.
May we forgive and heal.
May we speak truth and listen.
May we succeed and fail and learn and grow.
May we be stewards of our earth.
May we read books and tell stories.
May we feel deeply and see and support and love.
May we shine with the brilliance of 1,000 suns.
About Katie
