Tell the story that’s been growing in your heart, the characters you can’t keep out of your head, the tale story that speaks to you, that pops into your head during your daily commute, that wakes you up in the morning.

The heart is a repository of emotions–real, imagined, and invented, owned and borrowed, past, present, future–and there in your chest, operating at an average of 80 beats per minute at rest, is a heart that has stories to tell.
