Storytelling 2012

This beautiful song from Sarah Slean is my wish for the New Year, for all the storytellers everywhere.
Here's to finding the "The Right Words" in 2012.
And for myself, the courage to speak, the courage to inspire, the courage to dare.
Listen to the sweet lyrics and enjoy....

Julia Cameron's Fantasy

Today I want to share with you this great quote from Julia Cameron.

I have a fantasy. It's the pearly gates. St. Peter has out the questionnaire, he asks me The Big Question.

"What did you do that we should let you in?"

"I convinced people they should write" I tell him.

The great gates swing open.

Visual Storyteller

There are so many great storytellers out there, telling stories in so many different ways.

This morning I was enjoying Sophie Blackall, an artist who tells small illustrated stories and maker of the art in the image above. Go see at www.sophieblackall.blogspot.com and www.missedconnectionsny.blogspot.com 

Or go here for a quick look at her work that you can own. http://www.etsy.com/shop/SophieBlackall

This Storyteller blog has been put on the back burner as of late. This sometimes happens in life, but I'm going to get busy and tell some stories in the autumn. Really I am. They are percolating just now. It feels like autumn in BC but the calendar says no.
