Welcome to Litsy!

I saw this on Facebook a while ago and gave the first answer 😎 but I could do one or the other.

Ten-minute TED talk
About hot men of Middle
Earth … or tartan noir

I could possibly also do one about TNR but I might get too emotional.

Do you have a story to tell? For over 25 years, The Moth has been bringing masterful storytellers to stages and radios across the country, and in this book they finally put their process of sourcing, shaping, and performing stories onto the page for all. How to Tell a Story reminded me why I believe in the power of stories to change the world, it made me more confident to tell my own, and it gave me the tools to tell my story and be heard.

12-25-23: The tagged book is another one that was found under our tree this year. This is my family. My husband and two daughters. And the one in black is carrying my first grandchild. Her name is Ava Rosemarie. I love them and really enjoyed our holiday today. More to come….

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!) Feel free to join in!

This was a wonderful read, I just finished it but I know it works. Because I applied some of the principles I'd read today, during my speech. It was a presidential debate like event, where 4 of my other competitors also spoke. I applied the pathos to best use, mixing humor and adding logos to the mix. Guess what! I won the debate(also the elections)!

Now take this from President of a School Parliament : read it, it's filled with knowledge.

Really tight between a pick and so-so, and while it was well written and others might find it useful, it didn‘t work for me.

The producers of The Moth events and podcasts share their tips to crafting the perfect story. They spoke briefly about stories in job interviews or school applications, but the majority of what they gave readers advice about was giving toasts, which is not what I wanted. I did like the excerpts from Moth events.

This book contains several immediately applicable suggestions to improve one‘s presentation abilities.

My February #roll100 rolls: Jewish family and community culture & relationships, and communication tips, which might complement the other nonfiction currently on hand, too---on understanding and harnessing our internal mental chatter and hum, on healthy conflict communication, and iterative baseline habits building, little by little. Plus a tentative February, Aquarius, and Back History Month stack.
