Featured Stories

Everyone is and has beauty; everyone has a story. And I love to figure them out.

I have a terrible habit of being drawn in by strangers, unintentionally taking people-watching to a creepy level. I become captivated by watching a person’s every movement, every expression in an attempt to understand who they are and what memories made them. I fancy myself pretty good at coming up with strangers’ romantic backstories, but I have no idea how accurate I usually am.

Sunny’s Story

Like many of us, Sunny often doesn’t recognize the full reach of her positive impact. I illustrate this in a short story.

Mary’s Story

In “The Eggplant”, I explore a woman’s transition back to her native country, and it’s place in her long, complex life.

Dr. Barth’s Story

A neuroscientist, professor, mother, and more, Dr. Barth’s feature story provides advice on how to look at life “As a Futurist”.

Truth didn’t mean anything without someone to share it with; you could shout truth into the air forever, and spend your life doing it, if someone didn’t come and listen.
