Comments from a previous JustStories event :

Wonderful! - I laughed; I wept; I learned! - Everyone would benefit from hearing these stories and learning to tell our stories.

It is good for my soul to hear stories from other hyphenated Americans - I witnessed the fullness of great storytellers.
What an incredible undertaking this has been - JustStories has a focus that brings creative artistry to issues vital in our shrinking world.

Storytelling holds the mystery of life together and offers hope to the hearer and the teller. - I use storytelling to open me up and others to hear God's word from a different perspective, a different viewpoint. - It is good to celebrate our differences. - Challenged my thinking!
