“What’s your headline,” asks Shawna Todd in the July/August issue of Daily Word magazine.
If your life story were on display for everyone to see, what would it say about you?
Would it describe the life you want to live, the way you want to be remembered?
If the answer is yes, live your story with gusto, grateful that you have found your true path.
If the answer is no, you need to begin co-creating with Spirit–now.
Your Life Story Headline
Visualize your life story as you would like it to be, then write your new headline and ask Spirit to help you make it a reality.
I particularly liked this article because it mirrors the message of my book, Between Now and Forever, in which a substitute teacher helps launch seven troubled teens into their own life stories. “So listen carefully,” she says after her students convince her to share some of the details of her difficult, yet remarkable past. “Take notes if you like. Because after my story–and you do need a story–I hope you’ll discover a way through the dark wood and step forward with confidence into your own stories.”
As always, thanks for stopping by,
Interesting questions, Margaret.
In the 60s, I wanted to save the world, and a lot of other people expected me to write The Great Canadian Novel. However, my life took a sharp turn in the wrong direction for a while. As a result, much to my surprise, I've been able to help other people: my contribution to saving the world one person at a time. So I would answer "Yes" because I am grateful I found my true path. I even discovered my own writing style, somewhat belatedly but, I hope, not too late.

Hi Kay. Sometimes those sharp turns lead us in directions that end up being far better than the ones we had intended. Amazing that you've been able to help other people, one person at a time, in unexpected ways. Isn't that just how life works?
Great message Margaret. So glad to know teens will be hearing the same through your novel. Thanks for sharing!
