National Day of Listening
Don’t forget. November 28, 2008 is National Day of Listening. There are some great resources over at the StoryCorps website. Having just visited my grandmother for her 100th birthday this past weekend, this is a great opportunity to talk with someone you love about their own life experiences.
StoryCorps is declaring November 28, 2008 the first annual National Day of Listening.
This holiday season, ask the people around you about their lives — it could be your grandmother, a teacher, or someone from the neighborhood. By listening to their stories, you will be telling them that they matter and they won’t ever be forgotten. It may be the most meaningful time you spend this year.
To get started, download our free Do-It-Yourself Guide.

Thanks for posting about StoryCorps’ National Day of Listening. For anyone who did participate, or are planning on recording their loved ones this holiday season, a great last minute gift idea is to pair a copy of the interview with a copy of the New York Times bestseller “Listening is an Act of Love.” This compilation of just some of StoryCorps’ amazing, touching stories provides a meaningful addition to the holiday season, and gives that special someone even more incredible stories to read! The book can be linked to (as well as recording tips) at http://www.storycorps.net.
Best wishes for the new year,
