Back in the 1950's, three little girls - cousins - played together every summer on a gravel beach by a Maine lake. With towels for costumes and an old shed as all-purpose scenery, their imaginations took them from Bethlehem to Oz to Hollywood and all points in between.
The oldest cousin grew up to be a beloved pastor and preacher. The middle cousin became a wise and transformational teacher. But the youngest cousin never put down the stories. She kept right on gathering them, learning them, walking in them, tending them, and learning to share them. |

About Pamela
Pamela's tellings, workshops, and quiet days draw on her lifelong engagement with story, folklore, literature and music, and she especially cherishes the sacred writings of the world's faiths. She believes that people express and experience their connectedness to others through stories - so hearing stories, learning stories and telling stories are actions that repair the damaged fabric of our world. Take a look at this Episcopal News Service article about biblical storytelling! |

I donate my storytelling income to organizations that support the Millenium Development Goals. I'd still appreciate some help with my transportation expenses, if your organization is able to help. Apart from that - let's see what we can raise together for the
MDGs! ~ Pamela
