Journey in Words™

Journey in Words™ is the name for the adventure into formalizing what I have been doing for years--sharing stories and journeys and showing people how to use words and their own stories to take a hero's journey inwards.

For information about my offerings as a storyteller, online class writing teacher, and workshop presenter, please visit:

Third Daughter

I have recently had a collection of my poetry published. The poems are divided into four sections--three of which are reinterpretations of popular myths--Psyche and Eros, Arthurian legend, and Tam Lin, all stories we have worked with at Diana's Grove in past years. The fourth section is poems about Montie Jean, a composite of my grandmothers.

You can preview the first 10 pages of the book.

Between the Worlds

Between the Worlds is the quarterly magazine of Diana's Grove, a personal retreat and leadership development center in Missouri. I am the editor of the magazine, which strives to provide information about a variety of subjects related to wholeness, self-improvement, leadership, spirituality, and diversity. You can read the issues thus far for 2008 by clicking here.

Storytelling

I am available to do storytelling for your event. I like to combine a workshop atmosphere that brings in information about stories and how people can tell their own, with the entertainment of telling my own stories. I charge a reasonable fee and travel to many places in my area (Northeast Oklahoma). I specialize in stories about Oklahoma and myths. Call (918-864-9152) or email  me if you are interested.



 

The August/September issue of Storytelling Magazine features one of my original stories, FireWheel, on the cover. The beautiful artwork is done by Gina Perry.
