Witherell and Noddings (1991) contended that, “Stories invite us to come to know the world and our place in it . . . stories call us to consider what we know, how we know, and what and whom we care about” (p. 13). This article is a story about invitations. It is a personal reflective narrative that highlights how the acceptance and application of the theory of invitational education empowers both personal and professional change.
