Search - Diane Ferlatte with Erik Pearson :: Penny For Your Thoughts

Upon sharing some of my personal stories at storytelling festivals, colleges, & similar venues, I have often been asked if those stories are on any of my recordings. Up to now the answer had always been no. Since so many people seemed interested, this CD is a result of those requests. These stories are from experiences in my life. They show the beauty of friendship, the character of courage, and how one's reactions to racial, cultural, & generational barriers or conflicts can completely transform the outcome & may even transform the participants. I didn't search out these stories or events--they simply occurred as part of my everyday living--but they all left a strong impression on me. They all contributed to the person I am today, & I think they also very much affected some of the others involved in these stories. When I think of these stories, two proverbs jump to mind: 1.Talking with one another is loving one another, 2. A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet. I sincerely hope that these stories will be meaningful & perhaps even inspirational for you as they were for me. ----Diane Ferlatte
