I shared a number of similar points in my workshop today. :) I love how stories are such an integral part of childhood for many people.

I particularly love that last phrase you used: 'weaving my tales with an innate fervour'. Such an important ingredient in all that we write!Jo-Anne Berthelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775045057529728396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-79526837402332606842017-08-03T10:22:39.596+10:002017-08-03T10:22:39.596+10:00Great post Shane...thanks for sharing your growing...Great post Shane...thanks for sharing your growing up days! <br />Like Anusha we told lots of stories to our son. Particularly while out on a walk 'Kit and Joe' adventure stories we told. We got Josh to join in and finish the adventure. Wonderful times he remembers (he is 25 now).<br />Connection and life changing inspirations are what I look for in a 'good'(according to me) book.<br /><br />Indeed such a gift!Di Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288915294738813579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-17180099900747425722017-08-03T08:39:47.222+10:002017-08-03T08:39:47.222+10:00Really enjoyed your post Shane. Thank you. What a ...Really enjoyed your post Shane. Thank you. What a wonderful way God developed your gift of story telling via the stories you told your brother. Reminded me of the hundreds of stories I told my my son when he was growing up. During his times of stress, we'd play a game of make believe where we would make up a story about aliens where he was cast as one of the characters. Pity I didn't write them all down. I agree with the 3 important aspects you bring to your story telling. Love the last one especially. I like this line in your post: "In the forefront of my thinking is a gracious God who I have joined hands with to make this journey together." We are indeed blessed that we can partner with the Holy Spirit as we craft our stories. Thanks for a meaningful post.Anusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-8354466777965925182017-08-03T08:27:20.968+10:002017-08-03T08:27:20.968+10:00I grew up with a similar experience to yours, Shan...I grew up with a similar experience to yours, Shane. My sister and I would play with our dolls during the day and I'd make up a never-ending story about their adventures. At night, my sister would refuse to go to sleep until I related the next part of the dolls' adventures. Thanks for an enjoyable post.Jeanette Grant-Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691677119939194892noreply@blogger.com
