Life goes on!

WOW, has the last 4 months gone so slowly in times of lamentations and yet too quickly to get well into my projects.  I am making the best of it though as I connected with South Coast Storytellers Guild (as a member and storyteller) and the The Muckenthaler Cultural Center as a Production and Marketing assistant to write, edit, give input ideas and help pull their projects together.
I look forward to this summer full of events for storytelling and performances at The Muck.  It promises to be rich with insightful thoughts and laughs.  Each month this summer I'll be coached by a professional storyteller, Linda King Pruitt who was raised on Tall Tales from her dad, folk and fairytales from her mother, and Native American talesfrom her Choctaw grandmother. A storyteller, a storyteacher, Linda leads storytelling workshops throughout California.  She has been a resident artist with Fullerton's All the Arts for All the Kids Program since 1996, and is the storyteller for the Pacific Symphony's Class Act Program.  A member and State liason of the National Storytelling Network and South Coast Storyteller's Guild, Linda enjoys sharing the oral tradition with young and old.
