As we enter a new era on Medium, I feel ever more committed to New Choices. Making choices is how we change. Choices are how we impact our lives, and often the lives of others.
Our writers come from a variety of backgrounds, and across a span of ages. Each has made choices they now write about in retrospect. A few write about a choice they are making. Some write of choices that mean something for society.
If you are a writer who has made a life-changing choice, are considering such a choice, or know someone who has, please read our submission guidelines and request to be added as a writer.
Here are selected stories from some of our best writers. Each story informs the reader of how choices are made, and the impact they have.

is a prolific and wise writer, who has published seven successful books. She is an editor for New Choices. She also happens to be my friend. I am fortunate to know her personally.
Toni, and her husband Bill, have the best marriage I know. They succeed as a couple for many reasons. One is how they navigate outside friendships. Love and boundaries, agreements and mutual respect, keep them grounded. And breathing.

Finally, as Editor-in-Chief, I cover topics from social justice, to my own choices as a parent, to my life and career journeys that look more like Gulliver’s Travels. The following article fits no specific category, but touches on social justice, feminism, survival of sexual abuse, and the courage to lead.
