An Introduction

“Time can be a greedy thing – sometimes it steals all the details for itself.”

- Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner

If you haven’t read The Kite Runner, it yet deserves to influence you. I remember reading the book in high school. And I’ll never forget the journey and the emotions I experienced on each page. This book was one of the first that influenced my thoughts on the importance of storytelling.

Life, undoubtedly, is the most beautiful, horrid, complicated, simple, and inspiring thing to study and to learn. And that’s why storytelling is so crucial. Because it shares the details of our most important inquiry: life itself.

The stories I share will not be chronological…it may be something that occurred yesterday, last year, or in the years even before last, and they will not all be stories that have happened to me. Like I said in my first blog, you are the listener, and may choose to hear whatever you’d like. I am only a humble storyteller.

Stay posted...

Everyone Has A Story


Life just doesn’t happen.

(What do you mean?)

Everyone has a story.

(Oh. What kind of story?)

Any kind of story…whether it be real life, a dream, or someone else’s story to share.

(How does our story happen?)

Daily. From our first thoughts in the morning to our nightly dreams, the story grows, and is added onto the days before.

(I guess so. What’s your point?)

I’ve got a story for you.

(Will it be good?)

Some will be good. Others could be bad. Happy. Ugly. Sad. Inspiring. And whatever else.

(Do I always have to listen?)

Only if you want.
