Shine with Mary Obana

057—We are all natural-born storytellers. Whether or not we realize it, we craft the story of our lives, piecing our experiences into a coherent storyline. We carry these stories with us, and they become so much a part of our lives that we start to identify ourselves with them—the good ones and the not-so-good ones, alike.

But here’s the little-known secret: our stories aren’t always accurate.

Listen to Mary as she shares the role stories play and the power of a rewritten story to create profound shifts in our lives.

023—After a tragic accident that would take the life of her 11-year-old daughter and leave her 9-year-old son fighting for his life, Terece Horton returns to the Shine podcast to discuss the debut of her memoir, "Rebecca's Gift."
A few years after the fateful accident, Terece started writing to capture all the signs, symbols, and messages that continued to guide her toward her healing. The beginning of this book would sit in a box, unopened for over 20 years. In this interview, Terece shares the unexpected motivation she received to finish and share her story. And, so she did.
Rebecca's Gift is a story of a mother's love for her lost daughter, her devotion to her son, and her process of healing. But even more, the story delivers the beautiful, hopeful, message we all must learn: after loss, love goes on. And with that knowledge, we are compelled to go on, too.

Quote from Walter Anderson:
"I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift of all—life itself."
