Description

Your realtor told you that location trumps everything. “Buy the house with the view and put up with the pink carpet.” So it is with storytelling, location – the setting, the scene – are starting points for stories. Discover your stories with the power of place. Put on your seatbelt for a ride through you life. Listen to empowering examples. Arm yourself with story prompts. Envision the strength of you stories. Learn how to literally drive your family through history as we celebrate our locations. As Dr. Seuss exclaimed, “Oh, the places you’ll go!”
