Let me know if…"

Landmarks and Milestones along the way
It can be very difficult to get somewhere when you are not sure where you are going.
As storytellers, as creative artists, we are always learning and growing- for as long as we live. We are *always* on the journey. In the truest sense, there is never a moment that we can be said to have "Arrived". And yet, as we travel this path, it helps to have something definite and concrete to aim for. I can say that I aspire to become a Master Storyteller; but what does that mean, exactly? What… Continue

Something to think about...
I received a highly favorable comment from a recent performance in which I told three short stories (The Miller, his Son and their donkey; A Single Grain of Rice; and The Cracked Water Pot) which was forwarded to me-- as follows:
The Story Teller was a very pleasant portion of the evening. I was pleasantly surprised in her story selection.

Kate Holland said… - Greetings Mei-Lin,
I am not totally a story teller. I work at the Unitarian church in Sherborn. I offer the story for all ages during the service most Sundays. Nora Dooley gave a workshop I attended and has been at our church for services. I love stories and story telling though and am always happy to add new stories to my growing number I enjoy telling. Best to You!!
