Rev. Dr. Michelle Pederson
Story shapes the world - the past, present and future. The stories we tell ourselves shape who we are, what we experience as well as how we perceive and relate to others. Story may be a doorway to hope and healing or an impenetrable barrier to connection. Experiences may be shifted and transformed through the story we tell to ourselves and others. What stories do you tell yourself that keep you from connecting to others, which stories allow for compassion and empathy to emerge?
