Available now in e-book formats on Amazon Kindle and Apple Books, and in paperback through major retailers such as Amazon, Waterstones, Walmart, and Candy Jar Store, “Stories With Purpose” combines evocative poetry with interactive prompts designed to deepen self-awareness and spark personal transformation.
Through chapters like “The Superhero Story” and “Your Superhero Moment,” the book reframes familiar emotions—fear, courage, doubt, joy—as trials in a hero’s journey. Rather than teaching poetic form, Patac employs verse to guide readers toward recognizing their own strengths and defining their unique life purpose.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Each section concludes with “Mind-Bending Moments” and “Awaken the Hero Within” exercises, prompting readers to journal, reflect, and articulate their personal narrative. By naming qualities such as empathy, creativity, or resilience as “superpowers,” individuals craft a living legacy that shapes choices in work, relationships, and self-care.
Patac, a former corporate executive turned storyteller, drew on her multicultural experiences to create a framework where poetry meets personal development. Tailored for young professionals, creatives, life coaches, and anyone seeking deeper engagement with their life story, the collection offers a practical guide to turning everyday moments into milestones of growth.
“Stories With Purpose” is more than a book; it’s a companion for those at a crossroads or seeking a clearer path forward. Readers looking to infuse daily routines with intentional reflection will find prompted exercises ready for underlining, screenshotting, or journaling as they chart their own heroic arcs.
Paperback copies and e-books can be ordered through Amazon (affiliate link).
