[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.

Te Deum
Not for victory but for the day’s work done as well as I was able; not for a seat upon the dais but at the common table.
From Charles Reznikoff’s “Te Deum“
Home. A place to gather. A place to flee. A place to feel. A place to reflect. A place to care. A place to leave. A place to return. A place to celebrate. A place to mourn. A place to relax. A place to stress. A place to work. A place to play. A place to root. A place to grow. A place to bloom. A place to shine. A place to crack. A place to break. A place to mend. A place to hide. A place to seek. A place to sit. A place to sing. A place to breathe. A place to pray.
About Katie
