Stories Matter
Storytelling is life; past, present and future. It preserves our history, our heritage and our memories. It connects humanity across cultures and generations. It educates, empowers and inspires future generations. It is the thread of existence that transcends time and space interwoven with the joys and sorrows that are the human experience.
In 2015 Dolly Parton's DreamMore Resort was about to open marketed with storytelling theme. Dolly partnered with the International Storytelling Center in Jonesborough, TN to run a contest asking the question "What does storytelling mean to you?" This was my winning entry.
