Some Stories for the Weekend

Right this minute I'm sitting on an airplane, 38,001 feet above the ground, somewhere over Montana, near Flathead and Lolo National Forests. WiFi! On a plane! So many modern marvels at once! (Also, how much do I love-love that there is a place called Lolo?)

I'm headed to Portland, Oregon, this weekend for the Soul Sisters Conference. I'm leading two sessions this weekend, one on the power of storytelling and another on writing into the heart of your stories. Since these are topics that I've written about in one way or another many times, I thought I'd share some posts from the archives for those of you who couldn't make it to Soul Sisters.

First up, some stories. I'll be opening my storytelling session with a new story, one I haven't recorded before. But in the spirit of in-person storytelling, I'm reposting several stories that I have recorded.
