That story certainly helps put everyday trials in pespective.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to write to let you know about a new initiative we're launching this year that might also appeal to you and your readers. StoryCorps is asking the whole country to set aside one hour on Friday, November 28th, the day after Thanksgiving, to record a conversation with a friend or loved one. We're declaring this day the National Day of Listening. We launched a website (www.nationaldayoflistening.org) with more information and tips for a Do-it-Yourself style interview as well as a video walking through an interview scenario. Since so many Americans aren't able to make it to a StoryCorps recording booth, we're making it easier for everyone to share this experience in their own homes.<BR/><BR/>Again, thank you for writing about StoryCorps on your blog. Please share the idea of National Day of Listening and these Do-it-Yourself tools with your readers, family, and friends, helping us make the experience of listening as an act of love even more accessible.<BR/><BR/>Thank you again,<BR/>Kathleen <BR/>StoryCorpslistenclosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17721560877997303173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17652130.post-80993269604303528022008-10-17T05:58:00.000-05:002008-10-17T05:58:00.000-05:00This blog post made my day!

I remember that one recording and I remember the shivers it gave me as I listened in the car. <BR/><BR/>I highly recommend the weekly podcast from iTunes and the CD of Storycorps favorites that NPR put out. My mom bought it for me last Christmas and even now, after listening to is thirty or so times, it still makes me laugh and cry.lgaumondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17761243177462436806noreply@blogger.com
