February is the month of love, and I "love" to tell stories.  There have been some amazing storytelling events in the northern Utah area the past couple of weeks, and more to come in the near future.  What a great opportunity to curl up with a loved one and listen to stories!  Clearfield Storytelling Festival just completed its 4th successful year...we have outgrown the venue and will have to find a larger one for next January.  Weber State Storytelling Festival will be February 22-24, with great local and national tellers.  I look forward to performing (and listening) during that event.  If you haven't discovered the joy of listening to storytelling, you are missing something truly entertaining and life-affirming.  If you haven't tried sharing stories with your family, you are missing a great chance to get closer and just enjoy each other. Try it...you"ll be glad you did!
