Sally Kohn: How do you find the stories that are valuable to tell? She says if it means something to you, it'll mean something to someone else. " homework for life" is a process she began about 15 years ago when she ran out of stories. The problem is we just allow our memories to fall away like they're meaningless, Kohn says.
