It was my great pleasure to tell stories at the 10th annual Sterling Storytelling Festival recently. I enjoyed spending time with the wonderful folks who gathered there. Those in attendance and my fellow storytellers were way beyond nice.

The area is fortunate to have such a tremendous resource and as marvelous a celebration as the Sterling Storytelling Festival. It is likewise gifted to have those people whose hard work and foresight make this festival the important event that it is.

It was truly a celebration. It made my life better.
