Storytelling

I love Storytelling - hearing stories, telling stories.  Sharing stories and the process of Storytelling, giving someone space to listen to their story, or having someone give you their full attention as you share your stories, definitely brings Joy.

Storytelling defined as “the interactive art of using words and actions to reveal the elements and images of a story while encouraging the listener’s imagination.”

Stories defined as “a narrative, either truth or fictitious, in prose or verse, designed to interest, amuse, or instruct the hearer or reader.”

I especially love the Storytelling of my children.  I love picking up my daughter from school each day and hearing her stories.  I can’t wait for my daughter to get in the car when I pick her up from school so that she can tell me about her stories from school.  I love when my daughter tells me stories about her day - any stories - all her stories - what she learnt at school, about her friends - all her stories.  I hope that my girl always tells me her stories.  And I love when my son tells me his stories and his face lights up and he is happy.

I love Storytelling, telling funny stories and happy Stories, I love sitting with friends telling stories. 

I love hearing the stories of friends and family.  I really love my Mum and Dad Storytelling - I love my Dad’s stories of growing up and his sporting days.  I want to capture these stories on video, in writing, in my mind, in my memory, in my heart.    

Often I am so busy working that I run out of energy yet I need to find the energy and reset so that I have the energy to listen to stories and be involved and share my stories too.

I love when you have the close friend with who you can share your own stories.  And I love listening to them Storytelling too.

I have so many stories.  So many stories that make up the chapters of my life and the process of Storytelling is a beautiful process to reveal myself and that brings me Joy knowing I can remember and reflect and share my stories with people that I love.
