In Egyptian mythology, Thoth was both the god of magic and the god of writing. The ancient Egyptians believed that writing *was* magic, and that reality could be changed through the written word. I’m convinced they were right. 

Through writing, we can touch the hearts of others, share our thoughts across time and space, communicate our feelings, and change our destinies. We can make people feel loved, seen, heard, and respected. We can build bridges between cultures, nations, and religions. In short, we can bring people together. 

If that’s not magic, I don’t know what is.

I’ve been a storyteller all of my life. From entertaining my parents as a small child through my career as a television producer and medical/scientific writer. From studying communications and creative writing to studying psychology and mythology. I’ve seen firsthand how stories bring us together and make the world a better place. I hope my words can help heal the world.

These are my words, and this is my magic.
