April 27, 2020 is National Tell A Story Day. We all have wonderful stories to share. We share them with our children, grandchildren, friends + relatives. There's something magical in passing down stories that were told us as children. And in these crazy Coronavirius days, our stories have never been more important. And . . . we have a captive audience.
My Story:
My mom always made our childhood special + holiday's were no exception. One Halloween, my mom dressed me, my younger sister + little brother in our Halloween costumes. I'm sure I was probably Raggedy Andy to my sister's Raggedy Ann (but that's a different story).
She drove us about 2 hours away to surprise my grandmother. In my young mind, I think I knew this was supposed to be a surprise, but my little brother who was only about 4 was not really on board with the concept of "Surprise."
What do kiddos do on Halloween? Knock on the door and say, "Trick or Treat." However . . . my little brother didn't get the memo. When my grandma opened the door, my little brother went inside + straight to the toy box. See, my grandma always had the BEST toys in a toy box.
Our stories link our present day lives to our past generations. You are a powerful part of that journey. Use this slower time to share your stories to the next generation.
