That's my niece. She tells a good story. No wonder, really. We have a family full of storytellers. My mom is one by trade, hired by schools or events to tell- more like act, sing, and explore- folk stories. My sister will have a children's book published one of these days. My brother is a journalist, writing of the world around him. My dad is a pastor, sharing stories found in a very old, rather well known volume called The Bible.
Just as we are so often defined by our families, we are also defined by our words. The words we say affect, move and shake us. That's why I love this Anne Bogart quote. I love it so much, its worth repeating:
I know that the narratives that I choose in life determine the sort of life that I live...I create who I am with the stories I tell.
Happy Friday, friends. Happy storytelling.
