Dr. Sue Johnson.
Dr. Sue Johnson’s work was primarily about creating connection in close relationships. She believed that emotion has a deep logic to it, and that we can learn to use it as a compass to guide our steps as we move with others through life.
Backed by years of research, Dr. Johnson and her team dedicated themselves to helping everyone learn about the revolutionary science of attachment and bonding. Growing emotionally and finding attachment at the heart of our humanity was an inspiring pursuit for her.

Edgar and Elouise: Sagas 1 & 2
A saga tells of a heroic journey where characters find out who they are, face fear and peril, and with comrades, fight to save their world. The whimsical tales of Edgar and Elouise make up two such sagas.
But how do we know – and even change – how we see ourselves? A strangely wise and wordy porcupine seems to be able to tell us! And after all, he says, “We all need new stories – new ways to see.”
Sagas are about being human in an uncertain and dangerous world. How do we sculpt an inner strength and strong connections with others, and how can we protect what we love – our frail and magical world?
Stories are like magic – they help us survive.
