Story telling testimonials and thoughts

I want to share something my friend, Karen Jensen, had to say about the book

“I thought the Success Book was an excellent compilation of stories and histories of people who have made an impact on our community.  I have a special fondness for your book because I personally know several of your contributors so I am a biased reviewer!  I think books such as this have an influence on our community and society as a whole as we begin to discover what "truly matters" in our lives and how we choose to spend our days.  Keep writing....I think there are more tales to tell!  Blessings, Karen”

Last Tuesday, April 13^th, I interviewed Jen Taylor on my radio show, Priceless Conversations in the Grand Valley. She was just a wonderful person to interview. You may know that I have been interviewing people who were featured in the book, Success…Swimming in a Sea of. There are, of course, lots of people out there in our community that weren’t in the book, BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN! Jen’s one of them. I plan to include stories by others who weren’t in the book, but should have been, as we go through this year at KAFM.

Here’s a pretty typical comment I heard after Jen’s program. This from Gwen DiCino:

“Your interview with Jen Taylor was great – Dave, his grandpa and I listened to it together in the conference room.  She is great, and I was intrigued by her comment that she was raised “free range”.  Sounds just like my childhood! BTW, Chris Murr is giving the presentation at Rotary on COPMOBA on August 11^th.   I know Chris from my old Allstate sales days.”

Some people just have a way—and, again, Jen’s one of them. Can you imagine the wonderous picture that pops into your mind when you hear her comment that she was raised “free range?”

Chris is Jen’s husband and he is one of the contributors to the book. Next month, we’ll be talking with Jamie Hamilton. Hopefully, we can get him to mention JUCO while he’s on the air. That's Tuesday, May 11th, 12 noon at 88.1 on your dial.

And, I’m in the middle of trying to set up a podcast. I expect to launch it in a week or so. We did record Jen’s interview, so that’ll be the first podcast we’ll try. Once it’s up, I’ll let you know how to find and listen to it.

Now for an exciting story telling thought. I have been interviewed for the May issue of the GRAND VALLEY MAGAZINE. Krystyn Hartman did a telephone interview and we got excited together about the book, why it was written, how I chose the persons to feature in it, and what its purpose is. So, keep your eyes peeled for the May issue. Should be out soon.
