I love these beautiful reminders of the importance of stories and storytelling. As I was reading each of the five, I had thoughts of stories from my own life, from my family's history, and from others. Thank you.
Yes! We are all made up of stories. We can do a great service in helping others tell their stories. I hired a teacher (Language Arts) who hung a sign on her door, "The universe is made up of stories" A teacher at the other end of the hall hung a sign, "The universe is made up of atoms" Language arts teacher replied with another sign, "Yes, stories about atoms." This is a tiny story about two storied people, both of whom were outstanding teachers and both of whom told great stories to their students.
Thank you for this treasure, Jane. This is not just a great description of how we use stories, but it's a great cheat sheet for idea generation. I'm going to write all 5 of these down and put them in my writing space. When I get stuck, I can pick a WAY to use storytelling to figure out what to write next.

I'm so glad, Heather! That makes me very happy! I hope you'll be inspired to write the stories!
