The most interesting aspect of telling my story in New York was noticing the same themes emerge at every stage of my life. No matter how varied my experiences may have been, there were threads that tied it all together. I saw the pieces of my life as a patchwork quilt. I could see the connections. I could see a map of sorts.

From the Tell Your Story in New York Event, I now have a simplified process for choosing containers and projects that allow me to build a really satisfying and meaningful body of work. That is a wonderful gift for which I am very grateful.

I’m still somewhat in the wilderness. I’m still excited and scared but I’m no longer directionless. My stories became my map and it’s a map I can trust.

Whether you have worked with Megan before or are new to her work, I encourage you to give yourself the gift of attending Telling Your Story Live. One thing I have found out over this six months is that we all need support to negotiate this business of being ourselves. Without support it is too easy to slip back into a meaningless existence and that would be a real shame for us and for those whose lives are touched by our courage to be ourselves.
