Tell Us a Story

under1000skies story

The theme for February and ongoing throughout 2018 is “storytelling.”  We are always looking for your story, poetry, photo and art submissions.  Here’s the Submission Guidelines post from earlier this month:  Tell Us a Story.

Changemaker JohnnyO

John Olander

JohnnyO of Denver and Nicole Huguenin, (Dream Together) one of our most generous contributing photographers.

Big shout out to JohnnyO in Denver who has some amazing stories to tell (coming soon).  Johnny was recently featured in Channel 9 KUSA Denver News reading one of his poems, Climb Again.  When I spoke to John on Tuesday, he told me some wonderful news. He has secured a venue in Denver for two different Gallery shows which will feature the art and writings from under1000skies. One show will be in March and and the other in June.  These venues are quite expensive and exclusive but Johnny was able to get the venues pro bono!  This is amazing news.  Johnny has been passionate about helping spread the word about under1000skies since he learned about us a couple of years ago.  As more information becomes available, we’ll share it here with you.  Kudos to Johnny O and deep bows of gratitude for your enthusiasm, kindness and creative vision.

under1000skies story

This quote was posted today on the London Libraries Twitter page. I loved it and thought it was a perfect way to announce the theme for February and, really, for the rest of 2018.

☼ Tell us a story ☼

Tell us about something that lights your heart.
Tell us about how you journeyed out of the dark.
Tell us about your passion. What makes your heart sing?
Tell us, how do you manage to bring
joy to every single day, every day of every year?
Please tell us your story. We so want to hear it, and
Most of all, tell us who, what, where, when and why
You love. What makes you laugh out loud? and cry?
“We owe it to each other to shares stories,” and then
“The first duty of love is also to listen.”

(We will.)
