It is how we make sense of the world around us. And it is how we communicate that understanding to another. Stories allow us to bypass the linear and access whole brain learning. When I tell you a story, I let you into my world. I cannot tell you who I am without telling you a story.
Stories illustrate the text of our lives.
They go beyond facts into feelings. By storying my life, that is, by telling about the incidents that give my life meaning I make sense out of it. I begin to connect the dots of my experience and as I do, gracefully, artistically, memorably, I invite you to go inside and begin to connect your own dots to make sense out of your own experience. The universal themes of life are found in our stories about birth and death, triumph and disappointment, courage and despair. When you touch me with your story, my world expands.
