A quiet and observant child, Jessica Gazzola found solace in nature and books.  Through stories, she learned to explore vast worlds within herself. In the 4th grade, through a school poetry competition, her mother taught her that it’s not only WHAT we say, but HOW we say it that creates an impact. From that moment on, Jessica found acceptance and attention through public speaking leading her into public ministry as a pastor.  However, along the way, she lost the wisdom of the child – trading her own inner-knowing for external validation.  Abandoning her public role in 2014, she journeyed to rediscover the magic of stories and how they communicate the beauty of ordinary life.  Now, In her family and her work, everyday becomes an opportunity to play and create from the heart.
