Life Changing Events: Stories Wanted

I'm seeking interviews with people who have experienced life changing events. If I can collect enough stories, I'd like to put a book together.

I'm talking about the big events, AHA! moments, experiences where time stops or slows, things that change us forever and leave a defining mark. Perhaps the birth of a child, the loss of a friend, health, sickness, war, peace. Could be mundane or extraordinary, sudden or gradual.

The kinds of events that define us, that change us irrevocably, and that re-align our sense of purpose and remind us of what's really important. The kind of events that result in lasting change. I can't know what a life changing event might be for someone else. One friend I interviewed told me about her cancer diagnosis. Another told me about his near-death experience.

Do you have a story you're willing to share? Or know someone else who might? Contact me and we can set up a time to talk.

Valentine's day

I watched a video on the Internet today and wrote down a quote that stood out.

"What would it be like if we set aside all of our good/bad, right/wrong judgments of each other...and just listen?"
--Ben Wong, The Haven Institute

That seems an appropriate thought for Valentine's day.
