The Storytellers Porch
By Jill Davis
Welcome to The Storytellers Porch! We can’t wait to share our stories with you. Some of our storytellers have traveled the world and some have lived in the same house since birth. We share stories of courage and tragedy, of rejection and triumph, of falling in love and of coming out. There are tales of joy and grief, of laughter and tears, of gaining everything and losing it all. These are real stories, told by real people, for real people. This is the human condition. We learn from stories, create with them, and connect through them. Life is hard and it is full of joy. Stories bring us together, give us hope, and show us what’s possible.
So grab your tea, your cocoa, your whiskey, your wine, and come listen to a story with us on The Porch! What drink will you bring?
