- Or as rod stewart would say…every picture tells a story, don’t it. The explosion because social media can feel like that – fragments flying apart But what we want to talk about is weaving the pieces back together in a meaning way, a narrative reconstruction

- The Story Spine, originally created by playwright Kenn Adams, is a tool for creating well-structured stories. It is a series of sentence fragments that prompt the narrative elements of a story, and it can be used by itself or in conjunction with any exercise in which individuals or groups are asked to make up stories.

- A plot begins with an unexpected challenge that confronts a character with an urgent need to pay attention, to make a choice, a choice for which s/he is unprepared. The choice yields an outcome -- and the outcome demonstrates the values underlying the choice and the inner resources available for dealing with challenges. Each story should include the challenge, the choice and the outcome. It’s not enough to say – I was scared. You need to say – I was very scared, I needed to decide, and when I did, I learned it was possible. Also, remember the art of story telling is in the telling, not in the writing. In other words, story telling is interactive, a form of social transaction, and can therefore only be learned by telling, and listening, and telling, and listening.

- Not just aspirational, but concrete – grounded in the hard realities and working forward from there “Nor yet can dialogue exist without hope. Hope is rooted in men's incompletion, from which they move out in constant search—a search which can be carried out only in communion with others…Hope, however, does not consist in crossing one's arms and waiting. -Paulo Freire (1990, p. 91-92) “Hope, as an ontological need, demands an anchoring in practice. “ -Paulo Freire (1992, p. 9)
