Meet the Urgent Wisdom Community

The best part about being a writer is learning from others - wise people with hits of wisdom to share.

When my mother was deep into her experience with dementia, she became my teacher and the first person whose words of wisdom I recorded on video. And then I kept going. Laughing, crying, and learning...and never feeling alone or lost. Meet some of the people who’ve touched my heart and soul. Who've inspired my writing. Longer versions of their stories are featured in the videos below.

The conversation continues...

We're all "experts" at telling our own truths. Wisdom is available to us anytime, in every conversation; we just need to open our eyes, hearts, and minds to call it all in. 

So I'm constantly talking to people who have stories to share and guidance to offer. 
We all need that wisdom now more than ever.

This page will be expanding in the future, as learning from others is a never-ending conversation. If you have something to contribute, or know someone else with hits of wisdom to share, email Priscilla@PriscillaWarnerBooks.com and we can keep the conversation going...
