Digital Storyteller's

Healing power of story telling

What can I say…except that life goes on and we all do what we are required to do. I am not much of a blogger but there are times when words are the things that heal and gives one time to reflect on things. The digital story workshop was one of those things that created healing, for me and some others. I came away with a feeling of being healed and ready to move on. This is what I say that words and pictures can and do heal. If you are hurting….write it down do you own story around that hurt, put pictures to the words and add music if you wish.

Time Flies when you are in a coma

Feeling very nervous - I have registered for a Coma Care Workshop being run at Groote Schuur Hospital on this Saturday & Sunday. I was prompted to find out how to communicate with "non communicative" persons when my friend Enbe Badenhorst, my favourite Fine Music Radio announcer was struck down with Guillane-Barre Syndrome, and was paralysed from the neck down, and placed on a ventilator to keep him alive. Last Sunday when I went to see him, he was off the ventilator, but still could not speak. I have created a support group for him on Facebook (yea - at my age !!).

Digital Story Telling Workshop

Joy - What on earth are you doing writing a blog ? Are you crazy in addition to all the other things that you are ? At your age, you should know better !! Well, yes, actually I am crazy, and anyway, blogs look a little bit like dragons, and I ended up my digital story by saying that I go looking for dragons to slay now, so out comes my digital pen that is mightier than the virtual sword, and I jump into the deep end !
