Katie O’Connell
Katie writes from the heart. A former writing teacher, Katie enjoys supporting others in their writing process through her business, Heartwired Writing. A lover of all things creative, she’s discovered the healing power of artistic expression and its ability to help us learn more about ourselves. Katie’s essays appear in several editions of the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series, as well as online publications such as Scary Mommy and Patheos.
Nancy Gelband
Nancy’s love for art began when she could barely hold a pencil. The gift of her first paintbrush from her father at the age of nine, followed by a passion for writing years later, sent her already heart-depth creative flow to brimming. Whether commissioned or composed, Nancy captures the essence and spirit of life using various mediums and subjects. Creating art provides her with a sense of freedom and adventure but it is more the process than the skill that makes it so – It is this realization that fuels her desire to teach/share it with others.
