Storytelling has been humanity’s binding thread. Since ancient times, this art form has been a gift passed on from elders to the next generation, a kind of self-defining cultural roadmap to tell us where we’ve been and, possibly, where we are going.

There is a buried treasure of stories within each of us, a fantastic cocktail of wisdom and marvel, of the sublime and the ridiculous, of humor and tears, of triumphs and tragedies, and a multitude of life lessons gained in the process.

Too many of us today are overwhelmed at the thought of collecting and preserving our stories. “I just can’t get off the dime. I try to write, but I just ramble on. I don’t know what is important and what isn’t.” Sound familiar? We all say, “I’ll get around to it,” but most of us don’t before it is too late.
