The Storied Human (What is your Story?)
Humans have been telling each other stories since before writing. Around fires, looking up at the stars, human beings found comfort and connection through imagination and stories.
I'm Lynne Thompson -- Tech Writer, Creative Writer and now podcaster! I have always loved hearing people's stories, especially when they have overcome something, and then share it with the rest of us! So far the podcast has included stories on Overcoming Addiction, the Entrepreneur journey, Dealing with Mental Illness, Understanding Grief (and a few fairy tales thrown in there!).
There are plenty of spiritual moments humorous moments, and more. I have learned so much from my guests! Join me as I talk to real people with extraordinary stories! What is your story? I would love to hear it! Reach out to me at thestoriedhuman@gmail.com, or join our Facebook group!
The Storied Human (What is your Story?)
A quick Fairy Tale -- The Seven Ravens
Fairy Tales contain simple moral reminders, because that is how they were used years and years ago -- as a moral teaching tool for people, especially children. I enjoy how simple they are, and they allow us a peek into an older time. Fairy tales were "resurrected" first in France when readers in salons presented tales like Cinderella and Tom Thumb. This was in the 1700s. But The Brothers Grimm actually wrote down many of the older tales and these are the ones many of us know.
But some of the original fairy tales are thousands of years old! Just like Aesop's Fables, they teach us lessons through stories.
The Seven Ravens is a simple tale that hits on a few common themes -- a quest, a curse, and the undoing of the curse.
I enjoyed reading it to you, I hope you enjoy hearing it!
Turns out this one is a film (2015) too!
