As Mary Oliver wrote, just put your lips to the world. And live. On this mural in Brooklyn, people are telling their story, and beautifully. That’s my belief. Telling our stories is important. It speaks to our identify, our strength, our creativity. So it’s a fitting photo to put up as I go to LARAC tonight to begin my four-week story telling workshop. I tell my story every day. On my blog,  in my books, in my head, in  my life, through my photos. I believe in it.  People are often convinced their stories are unimportant, or insignificant, or made to feel foolish about them. Our stories are the thread of our lives. Tell them.
