Your Story Time: Your Favorite Childhood Memory




I titled this page Carrie Lynn - Storyteller because I believe in the human story. Especially the common place human story. That is why I chose the subtitle of "Everyone has one - They need to be shared."


February, mid-winter seems the perfect time for you to share. This month I will send out personal story topics. I would love for you to respond, to jog your memory bank, and share your experience. You are welcome to share them publicly in the comments below or privately in email. I want to know more about you. I can't wait to learn.


This week's topic is "What is your favorite childhood memory?" Share as much as you like. Happy reminiscing.
