A birthday celebration was the highlight of our weekend. One-year-old Tima could not believe we would leave her alone with a cake that size, lol.

She also could not fathom why so many people crowded around to watch.

A swim afterwards with her Dad brought her around to her old self.

  Thanks Tanja. I think she ate mostly icing and destroyed the rest, lol. Tradition over here.

Relevance of Story

Stories have power. Parents, teachers, public speakers, and therapists understand that the secret to engaging an audience or connecting with others is through illustration: storytelling. I see it in the eyes of the my grandchildren, who love to hear tales of family history. I’ve seen in the eyes of students, when recognition and understanding light […]
