Welcome! Before we begin in earnest, I thought I should tell you who I am and why I created this space. So I wrote you a letter. If you’d like me to read it to you, you can click the audio player below. I assume you got here by first visiting the StorySpeak homepage, but if not, I suggest you hop over there to read a few more details about my plans for this site.
Please say hello in the comments section. If you are willing, I’d appreciate hearing what you think of this idea and if there are particular topics related to story that you might like to explore in community with other art makers.
Dear You,


Oh, yes! It’s a great idea. I appreciate your letter and the option to have you read it to me.
Thanks, Lana! I appreciate your encouragement.
Such a gorgeous site and fun idea!
Thank you so much, Elizabeth! Since I’ve quoted you on this page, I’ll add the link here to your Spiritual Memoir website so others can find you directly. Your teachings about story and memoir have had a big influence on me. Grateful! https://www.spiritualmemoir.com
Lovely! Thank you for this safe haven in which we may enjoy all the ways our stories speak.
Hello TinyTeaWorld, so nice to have you here! Thank you for stopping by and for encouraging this effort along.
Lucy, thank you for hosting us here! I feel your presence in your care-filled curation of this site. Hearing your voice, reading your own personal script make this feel very personal and intimate, as if it truly were a conversation in the here-and-now.
Thank you for joining the conversation, Patricia! I’m glad to hear the space feels personal and here-and-now. I appreciate seeing you here, and I appreciate your note very much.
Lucy, so excited you are embarking on such a cool idea and creating space for all of us to continue our artistic conversations outside Canvas. Looking forward to connecting with you and the rest of art community you are creating!
Thank you, Delma! I appreciate your encouragement and your good ideas for tweaking and finessing the navigation from our Pedagogy class yesterday.
What a beautiful offering to heal ourselves through story! Thanks for sharing your gift with humanity!
Kat, thanks so much for your note. I am so glad you stopped by here. I hope you will again!
