Dealing in Hope

From helplessness & hopelessness to healing and hope.

 

Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.

Seminar: TELLING YOUR TALE

 

I am passionate that everyone get their story down. Why? Because history is not about facts and figures, it's about the interaction of people, their lives, their motivations, their faith. When we lose someone’s story, there a hole is left in the historical record. We know and understand history through the lives of those who lived it. In my seminar, I not only explain why preserving each person’s story is important, but also show practical ways of doing so. An entertaining, interesting and poignant seminar that opens up possibilities for sharing your “tale.”
