The Way of StoryWhat Keeps Writers & Teachers Going
Sometimes writers and teachers get tired of being the one having a different take on life and writing, and may wonder if it worth the trials to keep on keeping on. Then, out of the blue, angels sing and the universe responds with awards or rise in sales of courses or books, or a letter from a stranger whose life has changed for the better because you keep writing and keep teaching your vision. Sometimes it is enough to know that there are kindred spirits out there you may never meet in person.

Here are two recent responses from strangers to The Way of Story book and online course and also Heal Your Self with Writing:
Dear Catherine- What a joy it has been to follow your Way of Story online course over the last sixteen weeks on DailyOM.com Your advice in “writing from the soul” gave birth to at least three new children’s books and one new way of approaching a blank screen. I bought several copies of your Way of Story book to give as gifts.But the truth is YOU are the gift.What a beautiful example you are of GIVING YOURSELF AWAY…of sharing what you know with the universe and helping to lift it up a notch or two.I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say you’ve changed my approach to writing for good.
My love to you, Bob Zaslow VP, Unicorn for Writers Conference, Redding, CT
Catherine, hi. I am going to be buying your Heal Yourself with Writing course. I hesitate a bit…I had a very difficult childhood. I lost my mother at just over 1 year, and went through over 20 foster homes, some were quite abusive. I’ve done a lot of inner work and have grown and awakened–but there is still fear at walking back into the past, and perhaps even remembering things I don’t want to remember. Do you have any advice for me if I am to take upon this journey? Thank you so much for your work and your time.
Response to the above letter about Heal Your Self with Writing online course :
Of course, I can only speak from my own experience in that courage repays us a hundred times over when we face the ghosts of the past. They must be faced and let go in order for us to move forward.
When you do Heal Your Self with Writing book or online course, just respond to those exercises you feel ready to do, no force. And hold the intention that you are creating this dialogue or partnership with your Self in order to heal the past and nurture your soul’s growth.
