“Chrysopoeia”
You were made to be gold,
And are turning even now.
All that is base in you
Is the foundation for finer things.
And every moment, dwelling in love,
Your metamorphosis begins.
~Shelly Johnson, 2018

My name is Shelly Johnson, and I am a writer and philosopher with a Ph.D. in philosophy. One of my primary personal and philosophical interests is how we can learn to love ourselves and each other better in order to cultivate personal and political resilience. I teach ethics and a variety of other courses at a local college. I am the author of the blog Love is Stronger. I am also the author of three logic and critical thinking books for high school and middle school: _Argument Builder_, _Discovery of Deduction_ (co-author), and _Everyday Debate_, published by Classical Academic Press.
