Bonus Episode!
Listening to a good story is like reading a book that you can’t put down or watching a movie that you don’t want to end. hanging onto every word and getting more sucked in by the second. I’ve heard so many great stories and don’t want to forget them. So, I put on a storytelling night in my backyard. We squeezed as many people in as we could and listened to our friends take the mic and share a story based on the same theme.
