seriously - really good book. You look at people differently and a bit more objectively. Watch out for those who consistantly play the pity card.

I ordered this from my library and am on the list to get it. Life can be scarier than fiction that is for sure!!

Have I ever said I LOVE MY LIBRARY. Well if not, I do. So I said it. I admit it. I am a library junkie.

So today I picked up "Not One Damsel in Distress ~ World Folktales for Strong Girls" by Jane Yolen.

I am asked to storytell for different events, so I am always trying to find interesting folktales that we may not necessarily have ever heard. I also try to find stories about women, strong women, or wiley women... etc. There are far too many male heroes in our north american cultural mythology. I am only one women, but I hold the power of my voice, my body and imagination to encourage other women to embrace the hero within.

Anyway... I feel a tangent coming on.
