What’s Your Story?

Yesterday, my husband and I–along with our nephew and two of our nieces–headed downtown to the Polk Authors and Illustrators Festival. One of our good friends and favorite authors, April Whitt, debuted her new book, “Private Eye, Romeo Riley:  The Boy Who Saw Too Much.” Congratulations, April!

As we walked up and down the booths, it occurred to me how many different stories people had to share. Stories about…

• Special needs.
• Paper airplanes.
• Domestic violence.
• Fossils.
• Missionary tales.
• You name it.

Each person believed in their story so much–whether fiction or non-fiction–to breathe life into it and put it down on paper. But not only did they put it down on paper, they also shared it with others.

As we walked some more, my nieces begged, “Tell us a story, Tia.” (That’s Spanish for “Aunt.”) They, too, wanted to hear a story–not just any story, my story.

Dear one, you have a story to share.

• Will you breathe life into it?
• Will you share it with others?

Someone somewhere wants to hear your story. Only you can tell it.

Come alongside… Tell us your story.
