A Story about Stories
By Patricio Gallardo and Daniel McKenzie After reading several stories on the Wish Dish, we took a peek under the hood of the WishDish to see what motifs are running through the stories, to help contributors find their tribe.  Our hypothesis was that the WishDish stories would fit into just a few categories such as […]

My Abusive Relationship Hurt Me in So Many Ways
I stared blankly at the screen. The silver reflection from the message lit up my face. It took a moment, and then I gave in to panic. My abusive relationship was following me. No, no, no, no, no, I thought. I began to hyperventilate, and my chest felt like it was being crushed. This time, […]

My Idea of a Good Leader
Being captain on the leadership council for the gymnastics team has taught me that becoming a leader is downright one of the most important aspects of being successful. But what’s even more important than being a leader is being a good leader. Seth Godin’s book, Tribes, gave me a lot of insight on the traits of […]
