Story Telling - Passing on Great Stories

The Barefoot Storyteller was given kudos upon the "Life's Journey in Words" blog. The following review can be found on the Showcase page:

"I am so inspired by people who want to "pay it forward", I am inspired by people who come up with great concepts and ideas. I absolutely love when the passing of ideas involves changing children's lives in the long-run. The Barefoot Storyteller does just this. Based out of her home, this 39 year old mom has deversified herself by homeschooling children and yoga classes in the home, maintaining a blog or two, and workshops, classes, parties, and even book exchanges! Her concepts and ideas create an atmosphere of emotional and intellectual development. Reading stories infused with art, movement and music. She travels around instilling the love of stories to children, passing on the passion for stories and book reading. Going beyond storytelling, children use self expression by doing art projects, and movement is art in yoga. Older children from ages 12-16 years old can attend the five day workshop, upon completion of this five day workshop they will build up their skills so that those kids can go back out into the community and bring literacy to other children. I hope that you will visit her web-site, and be as inspired as I was and perhaps you can contact her, and start your own storytelling network too! Now that's paying it forward!"


Thanks! I'm doing what I love!
