Stillness In The Storm, Author Keith Thorn. 365 Day meditation

Inside the Story: Stillness in the Storm

There was a time when I was surviving more than I was living. Days filled with noise, demands, grief, and confusion. I couldn’t tell where one emotion ended and another began. Stillness in the Storm was born from that space—not from peace, but from the desperate need for it. It began as a simple practice: one reflection per […]

Effortless Power by Keith Thorn

Inside the Story: Effortless Power

Most of us grow up thinking power is something you have to take. Force. Control. Domination. That’s what we see in movies and boardrooms. But what if power didn’t require pressure? What if strength could come from stillness? That’s the question at the heart of Effortless Power. This book is rooted in Ki-Aikido, the martial art I’ve […]

When I’m Gone by Keith Thorn

Inside the Story: When I’m Gone

This book was the hardest to write—because it was written from a place most of us try to avoid. When I’m Gone is not a farewell letter. It’s a doorway. A deeply personal, quietly honest book written as if I were already on the other side of life, speaking to those I love. It’s the book […]

What I Hope You Remember, by Keith Thorn

Inside the Story: What I Hope You Remember

Some books are written for an audience. This one was written for the people I love—especially those I may never get the chance to fully explain myself to. What I Hope You Remember is not a guidebook. It’s a gift. A collection of reflections, letters, and life lessons pulled from the quiet moments between chaos. These […]

Receiving It Forward by Keith Thorn

Inside the Story: Receiving It Forward

We often hear the phrase “Pay it forward.” But no one talks about the other side of that truth—the part where you have to be willing to receive. Receiving It Forward is one of the most personal and humbling books I’ve ever written. Not because it’s about generosity, but because it’s about pride. The kind of pride that keeps […]

The Long Road To Hereby Keith Thorn

Inside the Story: The Long Road to Here

There’s no shortcut to becoming. The Long Road to Here is a memoir, yes—but not the kind with a polished arc or tied-up ending. It’s a book about the slow, painful, beautiful, and humbling process of returning to yourself after losing your way. This book doesn’t try to glamorize the journey. It honors the struggle. It […]

Escape to Port Isabel, by Keith Thorn

Inside the Story: Escape to Port Isabel

Some books are written with a plan. This one started with a road trip and a deep, aching need to breathe again. Escape to Port Isabel is a journal-style reflection of the winter Melody and I packed up our lives, left the snow behind, and headed to the Texas Gulf Coast. It wasn’t just about sunshine—it was […]
