Yarns: Spinning Yarns = Telling tales

My name is Yarns. Spinning Yarns. I don't just tell a story but loom it from the ground up using my background knowledge, books I've read, stories I've heard, tales I've written and adapted to create my own versions. Some tales are soft and fuzzy while others are wooly and scratchy - it all depends on you - the listener. I'll sometimes weave in magic threads, scary notions, or simple wisdom that winds throughout. I'll either have you sitting on the edge of your seats in tangled webs or have your stomachs in knots laughing so hard from my comedy. I am a storyteller, a spinner of yarns, and I'm stringing you along with me in this A-Z Blog Challenge.

"If you are a dreamer, come in, 
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, 
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer… 
If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire 
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin. 
Come in! 
Come in!”

In honor of National Poetry Month, a quote from Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

We all have stories to share. Stories connect us. They tell us who we are, where we've come from. Stories beg us to ask questions. They build confidence. They make us realize other points of view. Stories build imagination and color within us. Stories keep our past always present.

You will have listeners who will respond. When they ask to hear the story again, you know you are spinner of tales.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog posts each day. To learn more about storytelling, I encourage you to visit earlier posts.

What questions would you like to ask about storytelling and how to get started? Feel free to let us know how you incorporate storytelling into your business of family life. It could just be simple anecdotes you use as examples in your presentations or stories you makeup each night as you tuck your kids in bed.
