I realized I had been taking my own legs for granted.
In this moving short, Emmy Award-winning storyteller and author Michael Cogdill shares the profound "lightning strike" moment that birthed his first book, Crack of the Crab in the Sideways Afternoon.

The Spark of Creativity: How a single observation on a beach led to the creation of a celebrated novel.
Radical Gratitude: Moving from "taking things for granted" to a state of deep appreciation for our physical bodies.
The Writer's Journey: Michael’s humble beginnings writing in a garage and the discipline of storytelling.
