My family and friends asked: 
                                         Have you lost your mind?                          MAYBE 
                                                      You closed Cute Kids Consignment?            YES 
                                                       What are you going to do?                         TELL STORIES

                          Maybe I've lost my mind.                        Yes, I did close the store
                                        Now, I'm telling stories.
           In the beginning, kids scattering toys didn't bother me. Fifteen years later, my children are teenagers. The first time I felt the urge to strangle a child, I knew it was time to find another line of work. The next career would be so enjoyable I would do it free and I'd be so good people would be willing to pay. 
            So, I started a spiritual search.

                                                    What Next? 
          The answer was surprising. Become a storyteller! A what? Read stories. Who's going to pay me to do that?  I considered teaching a drama class .

            I contacted day care centers and found one interested.  "Just how many children do you have?" "Almost a hundred." What, teach drama to a hundred kids? 
            
             Somewhere in that situation was the answer I needed. And it was. It wasn't feasible to teach drama to a hundred kids, I could tell stories to a hundred kids.
