“Someone needs to tell
those tales. There’s magic in that. It’s in the listener, and for each and
every ear it will be different, and it will affect them in way they can never
predict. From the mundane to the profound. You may tell a tale that takes up
residence in someone’s soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That
tale will move them and drive them and who knows what they might do because of
it, because of your words.” - The Night Circus
Do you have a story to share about how you have overcome adversity?
Corresponding with the
theme of the upcoming Peterborough SPEAKS event – “What doesn’t break you makes
you stronger” – we invite you to submit stories about a challenge that you have
overcome in your life. There is no story too big or too small to be told.
Select stories will be
compiled in our blog, and two winners will be drawn to win two free tickets each to the Peterborough SPEAKS event, on 15 April
2015 at Market Hall (a $130 value).
You have until February 28th
to submit your stories to info@gphsf.ca.
Winners will be contacted via email.
