Believing in the Power of Story Sharing

Glitterchicken is a safe online space where you are invited to share stories about personal experiences that really matter to you. Have you ever gone somewhere, saw something, heard something, or did something that really "stuck" with you? Maybe it caused you to see things from a new perspective and changed the way you previously thought. Maybe it opened doors to worlds you didn't previously know existed, enlightening you. Whatever this experience did to you, it had a noticeable impact on your life. It had significance.

We strongly encourage you to share your significant stories with us because we believe story sharing is a healthy, humanizing, collaborative interaction that is mutually beneficial for the writer and the reader. For the writer, self-expression enhances self-awareness and provides pathways to deeper self-acceptance and self-love. The emotional release that often accompanies the act of writing can foster catharsis and healing. For the reader, learning about other people's meaningful experiences can be fascinating, inspiring, and empowering. The reader is offered a intimate opportunity to "walk alongside" the writer and share empathize with the ups and downs of the journey, which can reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Collaborating With Us
You do not need to be a "writer" or an expert in a particular field to be a Glitterchicken collaborator because no one knows the events of your life better than you do; you are the only expert on the subject of your own experiences. Your stories can be about anything meaningful to you - (these are just some examples) - your adventures travelling in distant lands, a delightful new discovery in your hometown, your lifelong fascination with a particular artist or the sport that gets you in the zone.
We hope you will become a Glitterchicken collaborator! First, please read our submission guidelines at http://www.glitterchicken.org/submission-guidelines/ and email your stories to GlitterchickenEditor@gmail.com.
