Welcome to The Plus One Theory Short Stories

Have you ever wondered how small, intentional steps can create meaningful change? How the simple act of going “one step further” can transform challenges into opportunities? That’s the heart of The Plus One Theory—a mindset that has reshaped my life and the lives of so many others.

I’m excited to share something special with you: short stories inspired by the principles of The Plus One Theory. These stories follow PJ, a character many of you may know from my From the Piney Woods memoir series. Through PJ’s journey, you’ll see how the theory comes to life in real-world situations, as she navigates challenges, relationships, and moments of growth with small, powerful steps forward.

Each story will offer a glimpse into PJ’s journal and her reflections as she learns to apply the Plus One Theory to her life. My hope is that these stories inspire you to take your own “plus one” steps toward a more intentional, confident, and fulfilling life.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Real-Life Challenges: PJ’s struggles and triumphs will feel familiar and relatable, showing how the theory works in action.

  • Journal Reflections: Personal insights from PJ’s journal, capturing the raw emotions and lessons of her journey.

  • Practical Takeaways: Reflection questions and prompts to help you apply the Plus One Theory to your own life.

Whether you’re facing a challenge, pursuing a dream, or simply looking for inspiration, these stories will remind you of your own strength, resilience, and potential.

Stay tuned for the first story, The Apology, where PJ learns that forgiveness isn’t about the other person—it’s about reclaiming your power.

Let’s take this journey together, one small step at a time.

Warmly,
PJ Hamilton
