My research into stories in the past few years have uncovered a number of stories that go well beyond a clever plot to amuse my listeners. Call it a message, or perhaps a hint of direction. They could even suggest a moral. The name of this elusive quality is not all that important. It is more important that the stories I tell possess it. They are inspirational stories.

Inspirational stories give listeners something to chew on. They can mull it over long after they heard the story. It gives them something that points them a bit closer to their “true north.”

Check out my website and the page entitled, “Listen.” Click any one of the story samples and you are likely to find a message worth your time. I find that inspirational stories stick in the memory long after they’re told. The fact is, inspirational stories actually inspire everybody, even the storyteller!

As we travel along the highway of life in this fast moving, complex world, we can all use a little “inner” direction. We can be confounded and dizzy by all its twists and turns. Inspirational stories help keep us on the road. Think of them as a personal GPS. There is a wealth of inspirational stories available on all of my recordings. Check them out!
