"If perchance a member reads this and is NOT going to the NSN conference in August of 2013 perhaps they could help storytelling by manning booth at the Dublin Irish Festival."

Openings to the world

Today we are getting a new sliding doors to our patio....it made me think about how it's like storytelling. THe door is a new opening to the outside world. Storytelling and storytellers can be new openings to the outside world when we share our stories to different groups of listeners.....they may get a different view of people,events,etc. through the stories we share. I rather liked that analogy.

This time of Year

This is the time of year when I sneak longer routes to complete errands. I love to just absorb the trees changing and once I get past the air pollution thereis a tang to autumn's air that is invigorating so as I look ahead at the bright blue of the sky with decorator clouds and catch glimpses of the tawny shades of trees evolving I feel fortunate to be right where I am in this universe....did I mention the peace of the absence of the political ads and talk shows of the TV.

Expanding my profile....

The older I get the more I expand and I'm not just talking about dress/slack size. When I email I expand my community of friends, when I work on a storytelling program I expand my repetoire of stories and now I expanded the stories we'll have in the soon to be out "Transplanted Shamrocks" collection of Irish-American Family stories form this part of the world....see things just keep expanding.
