Finding my Voice in Storytelling | Grit: Stories of Resilience

The power of storytelling...if you do it right, the results can be magical. I went to the North Carolina town of Plymouth, that sits just off a main highway to the Outer Banks, this past week and met with a number of Social Workers for Washington County's Department of Social Services. They see the misfortunes that affect young people every single day and often despair at their circumstances of life. So, my visit with them was to talk about stress, depression, even suicide, and a way out. Nelson Mandel once wrote that "Hope is the most powerful weapon when all else seems lost." It is in meeting with people I have never seen before and making new friends that I have found my voice. It is storytelling that makes it all possible. These are just a few of them.
