I have a dear friend, Jean who I have shared many of my life milestones with. We have supported each other and had great fun together. Sometimes we have adventures and sometimes we have misadventures. No matter what Jean always says “it’s all about the story”! And indeed it really is. Our lives are a story that we are writing every day. If you knew you could write the next great novel, would you?

Well you are the next great novel, your story is the next great story – for you, your family and friends. For the stranger you help, the young person you encourage, the older person you visit.

Live your life each day like it is the next great novel. You are the hero of your story – BE THAT HERO. All great heroes have struggles, relatable flaws, inner turmoil. They overcome adversity and inspire others to overcome their own difficulties.

Live your life as that hero! Write the great novel that is your life with stories that help, inspire, persevere and love. Write stories of over coming pain, obstacles and sufferings. Write stories of adventure, laughter and joy.

Write your great novel with stories that live.
