The stories we tell shape our perceptions, incite our actions, stamp an impression of us on others and either facilitate or complicate our interactions.

These slides are taken from a talk that I give on the life lessons that I have learned from working as a hospice volunteer at San Francisco's Laguna Honda Hospital. There, I hear remarkable stories.
