That there was a way to ‘time travel’ and change the impact of my past on my present and future.

2024-08-0816 minStoriesOfSelfWelcome to Stories Of Self E001Our stories matter. Our stories are elements of our journey to be and express who we are. We tell the story of our life by living it. We also tell ourselves stories about who we are based on the past and on the society around us.
Every moment we are who we are choosing to be.
You Choose | Choose You
Because your story matters.
If you would like to tell your story I’d love to hear from you.
