I spent a lot of time during this book tour talking about the question "What does storytelling do for me?" (or you for that matter). And I believed I had my entire answer complete when my sister, Barbi (yes she looks like a Barbi), received a "word for the day" through her email.

Maybe she should be the author....irregardless -- she sent me the "word" yesterday.

So, add this to the list of what storytelling does for me

WORD FOR THE DAY FOR THURSDAY, June 26th from Dictionary.com

Cockaigne \kah-KAYNE\, noun. An imaginary land of ease and luxury.

So much for my entire speech on storytelling. This pretty much sums it up. Don't you think?
