Breathing Words: A Year of Writing Together

Social media can be used to heal. The secret is to openly share our own unique truth. This is a collection of these truths. Thousands of strangers from around the world joined an online course for 30 days of writing. A diverse group of one hundred writers remained connected for the following year in a Facebook group, pouring out their lives to each other in poetry and prose. They encouraged each other, embraced their differences, and lived by only one rule: to love. They breathed each other’s words as air. Together, many of them became authors. These writers show us that deep relationships and personal growth are possible, even in this age of declining personal communication and true connection.
