Story People
Something I really like to do is send notes and or cards. My dad once gave me a gift, now I am not sure I can even remember what it was, but he gave it to me at a nondescript time. I asked him "why I was getting this gift" and he said "I saw this (the item I can not remember) and it made me made think of you so I got it for you". It made me feel really good. It made me feel good because it was a gift -just because, not a Christmas gift or a birthday gift but just a gift- my favorite kind. So now, something I really like to do is find good cards and give them to people just because.
I really like the Story People cards. I give their cards and I have also signed up for their daily e-story of the day. I went to the web site to find out how they described themselves and this is what it said.
"We're a diverse group of people, artists, activists, healers, tinkerers. We talk, we laugh, we eat great food & drink great wine, sometimes we disagree (passionately) & sometimes we agree (equally passionately) & it's all part of the same gift of being alive together. Our wish is that other people experience this amazing world we live in as a world of imagination & possibility & healing. We believe our stories do that. (& that's not just Story People stories, but all our stories...) We believe (fiercely) in the power of stories, not because they're our stories, but because it is valuable & right to protect the precious connections between people.
That's who we are. We forget at times (isn't it amazing how life sneaks up & steals your memory of who you want to be?), but mainly, we remember. It's a future we're creating together, every day, with each other & with each one of you. (Hopefully, you're in a warmer place than we are...)"
I like how they describe themselves. Go to Story People and see if you see anything you like. They sell cards, prints, sculptures, books and furniture but for me they give me a daily way to look at life. Here is one of my favorite "Story People" of the day. I hope it becomes one of your favorites too.
What are the rules? I said & she said, Do exactly what I want whenever I want, make no demands of me whatsoever & love me forever, no questions asked & I said, how do you win? & she said, you don't understand. I'm the only one who wins & then she laughed & clapped her hands. Isn't it a great game? she said.
