It is the connections of body, mind and spirit that bring us to inspiration and personal growth. They come to us in myriad ways, but not often are they associated with comfort; however, in "The Stories We Write" you will hold comfort. This book is comfort. Understand how a book can lead you to a quiet place, with time to enjoy it, and go on a journey to new places of understanding or insight. "The Stories We Write: Collections For Living" is all that and more "The Stories We Write" is a compilation of short, themed stories written for and from various places where they were published. They are labors-of-love stories. They are where-you-live stories. They are honest places-of-the-heart, from life, stories-and the living of it. Carolyn Flinn McCool is a special woman, and "The Stories We Write" is a special book. As you move through the themes of life she so courageously has lived and captured, you "will" find yourself somewhere inside her rich images and words, her experiences, her inspired self. You will find hope, encouragement, love, wisdom, and a sense of what matters most. Take this book into your heart; carry the messages with you like good luck charms.
