Today I had the privilege of going to our local library to attend a meeting that I coordinate called Story Spinners. Our goal at Story Spinners is to keep the art of story telling alive. We as local artist come together to share our stories. Many of these are original and some are read from other artist works. We have a variety of ages and abilities . It is the most charming group of people.
After several meeting we intend to come together to hold an event to share the magic of the story telling with others. This time it will be in a local restaurant. We try to find places that are 'cozy' with a fire place, then we call it' Fire Side Stories.'
It is my joy to listen to these wonderful story tellers as they find their voices. I love encouraging them . I love watching them encourage one another. We have such a marvelous variety. Local history, family stories, ghost stories ,children's stories, imaginative stories and true life adventures.
Come if you can sometime to join us. We have so much fun as we laugh , listen and create.
I think we plan on making the fireside story tellers event on Feb. 21 and I am exploring what stories I can tell. Perhaps a Thelma Lou story, one of the funny ones.
