Fresh Ground Stories- Fish out of Water- Not Fitting in
I have not posted much to my blog of late but it has been for very good reasons. Life has been grand for me. I had a wonderful spring season of coaching 7th/8th Grade Boys Lacrosse with (3) other coaches in Olympia. I got chosen as 1 of the 12 people to speak at Olympia's first ever Ted Talks and I have been sharing stories in Seattle the last 2 months. Paul Currington hosts Fresh Ground Stories at the Roy Street Coffee House and he offers an open mic to people who want to share true personal stories that match the theme of the show.
I have been so happy writing recently and sharing stories. Writing has been so fulfilling and something I never envisioned doing. Life can be funny that way. I hope you enjoy the first story I shared in Seattle on May 28, 2015!

Oops. Tried to comment but looks like something didn't take...but in essence i just exclaimed how delightful this was to listen to! The vulnerability, the hope and joy and especially, the VICTORY. Thanks to your parents, as well.

ReplyDeleteReally loved the story. Sorry the youths in Gorham treated you badly. I grew up in Maine and never fit the Maine profile either.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, things have changed. It's a great state. Keep writing. You're a pro. Jo
