Storytelling has been an important part of the human psyche since the development of the spoken word. It has helped pass important events from one generation to the next, help understand what foods are safe to eat, and help protect the community from danger, just to name a few. Storytelling is the basis for everything from food collection and preparation, to medicine, to explaining seasons or the weather, clothing, shelters, transportation, and society in general.
It more recent times, storytelling has been used to support an idea in a fashion that is easy to both understand and remember. Storytelling can be lighthearted or serious and is so ingrained into the human DNA that a well-presented story can change communities or even the world.
Everyone loves a good story. Here, I encourage folks to do just that … tell a story. If posted here, it should be positive, non-political, non-racist, or attacking a specific lifestyle, even if it’s something you may disagree with. I will also ask to abstain preaching or proclaiming a specific religious faith, while tenets of various faiths may be referenced as part of the story, please do not evangelize, or be upset if someone makes such a reference.
If something that may be considered “sensitive” is used, please ensure it is used as part of the story and may not be construed as imposing a belief system or preference on others. These topics include, but are not limited to religion, politics, the LGBTQ community, reproductive rights, or gun control.
Should something be posted where a reader believes it’s crossed a line, please let me know. If there is a concern, the post will be removed. This is a forum to tell a story, entertain, and be entertained.
Thank you for visiting, I look forward to hearing folks tell a story.
