The Story is You…

Psst…hey you…yeah, you…do you know the secret of storytelling…well, do you? Excellence in storytelling starts with you, the Shanachie (Storyteller).

Each story you tell, each story you hear, whether it is at home, at the store, or at work, keep it simple…oh, yeah, and listen to that little voice that lured you in at the beginning and tells you to add the following ingredients:

* 2 Parts Story - 1 part specific to you; 1 part from the your experiences

* 1 Part Time - Find it…don’t kill it, it never comes back

* A Smidgen of Belief - Children have plenty, borrow some along the way

* A Dash of Creativity - We all have it, some more than others

* Dollop of Ingenuity - Technology is big, but necessity still drives invention

* Pinch of Inspiration - Tougher to find these days, but look and keep looking

May today, and everyday, breathe excellence for you…
