Plutarch said, "never blame or praise yourself", but sometimes we also fail to praise others for the work they do, the enjoyment they convey or the dreams they share. We fail to appreciate their unique qualities in the face of terrible, and sometimes negative, forces of conformity and standardization.
As a Japanese quote says: “If one man praises you, a thousand will repeat the praise”, so add a comment about a storyteller YOU know. Just a line about their skills, an enjoyed tale, or a potential they possess. Young, old, and those still undecided will benefit and be encouraged to not keep those stories to themselves any longer.
Bonnie - her heart and spirit shine through her stories, stories that often feature unique corners of Oklahoma's past.
Darla - I have laughed and smile at her funny stories, told in a delightfully relaxed manner
Shaun - The poet shines through this woman and sometimes story and poem flow smoothly into one another for a rich experience
Molly - A unique and rare teller and writer of great talent and strong values that enrich all who listen
Barbara - Deep, moving, heartfelt stories of people, their challenges and their hopes
Dwe - Dynamic, visionary, and compelling; her creative talent and managerial drive are a source of inspiration
Sky - Hot coffee on a cold morning, that is how his stories feel. A 'come right here and sit for a spell' warmth that bewitches and entertains.
Connie - Rare and special, his vision of life and his memories combine to create one of kind delights.
Rosemary - Soft, gentle and easy on the spirit, her stories take us to other places and times and bring smiles to the face.
Kathryn - Energetic, creative, multi-faceted - she dazzles all who get to know her with her musical, theater, organizational, and story talents
Jeanette - Smooth, capable, and deep; this storyteller pulls stories from deep places and weaves them together into interesting and unexpected patterns.
Chester - Stories from this man are like a fond memory of a walk down a sunny street, they bring a smile and add a bounce to the step. Not to be missed.
Susie - Deeply touching, hilarious, and unexpected and all in one story! Susie provides uniques perspectives and unexpected surprises in every tale.
Fran - Sure, deep, and enriching are how to describe Fran's telling as she blends from a rich resource of talent and experience and the result is always enjoyable
Marilyn: A multitude of talents all rolled into one; storyteller, author, actress, and director, her brilliant mind a credit to the One she serves, her stories always full of fun and/or inspiration.
Sam: Gentle, funny, humble Sam--just Sam. His stories leave you feeling young again and glad you were in his audience. One can never listen to him "too many times," and no one ever leaves without feeling like someone just threw a bushel of "warm fuzzies" right straight into their heart.
Phillip--The wisdom of multiple experiences and the ability to see the humor and the light and the insight in the lives he shares so warmly.
Stella--She takes you by the hand on a journey into the soul of people, into the heart of stories, and you are compelled to go because of her loving attention to those people
Nancy--with stories that dare and challenge us to do something out of the ordinary and look for the mysterious in common places;
Those are just the ones I can name after a high stress week at work......what about you?
