by walkingthemosaic
Welcome to Walking the Mosaic: A Collective of Human Lives, where writer and teacher Sher Stultz presents a collection of life experiences from everyday people. The stories of what it's like to be them, the moments they occupied, and how they chose to live them make up the mosaic of our collective experiences as human beings. Sher treats these stories as the raw stuff of our existence. To preserve the fidelity of what’s been shared in this podcast series, the recordings are unscripted and lightly edited. No effort is made to develop a predetermined outcome for dramatic effect or support any particular agenda or ideology. Her reactions to each story are comprised of a couple minutes of commentary, but keep in mind they are her own perceptions which have been molded and shaped by her own walk.
