When I was six, I discovered my favorite place to visit, the library. I loved books and read all types, even books that weren't appropriate for my age group. I didn't care; I loved reading. I enjoy storytelling in all facets, whether from a song, movie, poetry, opera, a great book, a personal note from a loved one, or just the quiet moments a person has with themselves. I believe there is a story in everything and hope to capture the uniqueness of storytelling that connects with everyone. How we communicate is the thread of a tapestry that unites the world.
