Transform Pain into Purpose, one Journal Entry at a Time, Artist-Inspired.

The Love Story inspires the broken-hearted to transform pain into purpose through Journal-Artism, a writing genre that fuses journaling, journalism, with the personal journey to write-out, discern, and act-out our true passion, pursuit, and purpose.  We inspire those recovering from heartbreak, grief, and trauma to transform our tragedy into a divine comedy in seven acts.
As Journal-Artists, we journal our trauma into fictional drama because the truth will set us free, one journal entry at a time, artist-inspired. In story, we illuminate and discern our shadows to reveal a better pathway for ourselves, and we integrate our shadows to pursue our true purpose
Reveal, feel, deal, and heal.

“I want to go back and explore. Why did it happen when it happened. …Women often suppress their emotions…we think, ‘if I just swallowed that back, it’ll go away,’ and it’s like ‘Nope! Still here.’ and so I think I’m starting to really figure, I can’t swallow that back. I need to let things out.”
