When I was in third grade, I had a "travel buddy," a pink and purple gorilla I called Binky. It was for a school project, and we were supposed to send our buddies on adventures with friends and family, so I sent Binky on a three-month bender with a family friend, who was a pilot.
You can watch the whole adorable story here, but the point is, Binky nailed it. He sent me postcards, kept a journal and at the end of the whole deal, brought me back five porcelain thimbles. Luckily, third-grade me knew an opportunity when I saw it, and here I am, 25 years later, with hundreds of thimbles in my collection. They're my tiny treasures, and each one tells a little bit of my story, from Binky to now.
And for me? That's what it's all about. Whether I'm writing a blog post, brainstorming taglines or collaborating on communications strategy, it's all about the stories I'm telling with the words I choose. Every word we write holds the power to shape our readers' experiences, and we owe it to them to choose wisely.
As a writer, editor and communicator, I'm interested in harnessing that shaping power for causes and people that are cultivating good. And that's what I've been doing, from crafting communications to studying writing and rhetoric in hopes of empowering more writers to thrive.
