Hello. I love to find stories that imply outcome without completion thereby leaving room for ongoing possibilities, stories of hope and inspiration in humanity that perpetuate ideas of people before nationality and sustainability before immediacy, stories that highlight how we impact our world collectively by acting individually, stories that facilitate understanding and appreciation for our differences and similarities and remind us that our most common factor is being human. I would appreciate being a contributor to this project. Thank you!

All too often, media focus on the negative, the sensational, the wars and the violence, the attention seeking celebrities, the pr spin, the person we aren't or never want to be. I want to tell stories about heroes of everyday life from every corner of the world who inspire and help. I want to give voice to people who have something educational to say which isn't necessarily mainstream. My focus is less on technique and how neat a storyline is but rather on the positive impressions people can make.
