Being a storycatcher is being a listener. It’s picking up a pen to uncover your voice and celebrate your story. I believe that your story is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give yourself and the people you love.

I imagined ten or twenty years from now, opening a journal that my child and I might keep together. I wanted to see pages filled with stories and perspectives, photographs, youthful penmanship recording both phrases I haven’t heard in years and moments I’d nearly forgotten about. Most of all, I wanted reminders of how much we love each other, and I thought: if I want this thread that connects my kids and me forever with love, I imagine other families crave it, too.

I know you have a story that’s messy, imperfect, and beautiful. We all do! But if you have a passion for something, keep pursuing it. People will tell you that it’s not possible or you don’t know how to do something well enough. I try to tell my kids (and myself) to always add the word “yet” to those statements. “You don’t know how to do that well enough yet.” Keep practicing. Keep cracking open. And goodness, keep writing your way though your thoughts!
