What is your Story?



Words. Sometimes they just flow off the tongue so freely. Is it really that important to tell you that I lost my keys this morning? Or that I misplaced my phone yesterday, or that my child acted up? Do I have to tell the awkward tales or the moments where I asked something of someone and they did it?


I am a story teller. I am a people person. I am always looking for things to relate to. I tell my stories in hopes that you, too, will tell me yours. I want to hear how you overslept and had to rush to work. I want to hear that you had the chance to get a sitter so you could take a warm bath. I want to hear that you were so busy doing all the things of life that you totally forget to eat breakfast or make coffee. I want to hear that you bought a new car and that you love it.


All of that, all of the in-betweens and everything that surpasses even that, I want you to feel comfortable confiding in me and sharing life with me.


If it is your first baby or your seventh. If it is your first house or your forever home or your tenth move in two years. If it is your mom or your sister or your baby. Everyone has stories. Everyone has something going on in their very moment of life that is worth sharing.


Maybe you need to vent about a problem at home or at work. Maybe your best friend hurt you. Maybe you are just so exhausted from doing this thing we call life. Maybe you are in a shaky place in your spiritual journey. Perhaps there are health concerns.


I'd love to hear about where you are, and where you've been in life. We are all shaped by our experiences and our perceptions of the world. We all have something that we can learn from and that we can teach each other.


Let me have listening ears and a willing heart to engage in the matters of the heart conversations and grow myself and watch you grow through it all.
