Nicole Schiffers is not a professional writer and the art well she holds the brush ..she believes in the quiet healing power of stories Her work grows out of reflection faith and a search for meaning in life s experiences . Through simple heartfelt story telling she hopes to create a space where readers can pauze breathe and find hope and gentle encouragement that life does have its collateral beauty Some stories are meant to not just be read- they are meant to be felt so that gentle strength can grow within us .
