About

From global events to microscopic movements, change happens around us, to us and within us. We are challenged to adapt, plan, grow, rethink, relax, endeavor, risk, feel and act. How do we live robustly when plans are disrupted and wellbeing is threatened? How do we find purpose? Feel joy? Be creative? Achieve? Connect? How do we thrive? Camels thrive differently than orcas, who thrive differently than ladybugs who thrive differently than villages. We can’t reduce thriving to one uniform condition, we sure do know it when we see it and when we feel it. We can wonder about thriving, explore and share it, exult in and be changed by it. We can communicate it so others can enter our experiences. Thriving is an anthology of original, creative writing and illustration that revels in the state we call thriving. Each piece will uniquely delve into its myriad facets, pathways, circumstances, manifestations, inputs and outcomes.
