Viral Storytelling with The Story Lady, Ronda Del Boccio

I have always been a “free spirit.”  My vivid imagination started when I was a tot in diapers.  I used to invent games and make up scenarios.  This all by myself without my parents participating.  I could entertain myself for hours.

When I was in school, however, kids were cruel.  I was too different.  They made fun of me because I was visually impaired and not good at sports.  I got along better with adults because I could hold much more interesting conversations with adults than the ridiculing brats around me.

My free spirit could not be squashed.  Nothing has managed to damp my enthusiasm for life, my creative spark, or my complete joy in creating something new and wonderful–not just the idea, but the whole “thing.” 

My love of stories has helped me create fiction and nonfiction as well as poetry and articles, plus one thing that makes my day is to help someone else live their dream of getting FREE of limiting beliefs, thoughts and actions.  It’s great to help someone cut their chains and soar!

My quirky way of thinking, which set me apart in a bad way as a child, is now not only my way of being, but my way of sowing increase into people’s lives..

Are you a free spirit?  Or do you look at what other people do and wish it could be you?

I was at a conference last year and at the break, they turned on music.  That was it!  I jumped out of my seat and danced around.  partly this was because I hate sitting for too long, and partly this was because I can’t resist a beat!  I know a bunch of people were looking at me like I had sprouted a second head.  But I’m immune to that.  It doesn’t phase me and I don’t care.  A couple of times I was able to persuade someone to dance along with me, but they soon gave it up.  Then someone said…

I am one of the Fabulous 5, and when you hear the show, you’ll discover what best-selling author Tracy Repchuk has to say about my weirdness.  (Her book is awesoem, by the way–you shoudl get it!)

One great thing about Today’s Guest is that 5 of us host the show, so we are a team, and though the topics are different each day, they are all harmonious.  This is a show for anyone wanting to create big changes in their world.  Many of our listeners are starting their own business.

This is our very first week in production, and it was an AWESOME start, if I do say so myself.  We began this radio show because Greatness Nation got unceremoniously du– er canceled.

Check out Today’s Guest and keep your eyes open for The Story Connection, my own show, which will start next week.
