At a time when people are in need of keeping their distance, storytelling is a great way to bring people back together. It always has. Something that this COVID 19 challenge got me to do is trying to connect those in the DC, MD, VA area to storytelling across the world. To see the bigger picture of what storytelling can be. And to show the rest of the world we happen to do here. My hope is that looking at the blogs about virtual shows, Facebook groups, Facebook pages, Blogs, online classes, anyone who reads them will find new connections.

I don’t know that everyone one will come out of quarantine with a new skill, a new body, or a new outlook on life. I do think that everyone will come out changed. There is a story in that change, There is a story in all of us. Connect with others, and share your story, on purpose.

After years of being an instructor in the military and the and the fire service, I realized I needed to improve my delivery. My students needed me to improve delivery. But how do I improve my delivery? Simple. I finally took a member of Toastmasters up on the invitation to come to a meeting. It wasn't long until I joined. Along the way of improving my skills at delivering a message, I came to understand that of all the ways to get a point across, telling stories is the best way to get it done. Around this time, another friend from Toastmasters told me about The Moth monthly story telling shows. What better way to test out my theories on storytelling. It's in my travels there to the shows that I found more and more shows, and classes, and events centered around storytelling. Despite how many people know about the storytelling world, not many people know about the storytelling world. So now, I'm out to tell the world about storytelling.
