I Am A Storyteller

Once Upon A Time -- One of my great loves is storytelling. We have traced our family through Scotland, Ireland, to the Appalachian Mountains and with 6 generations still living, there are no lack of tales to be told. I weave the tales of history, family, fables, and my own thoughts to make an exceptional storytelling event.

Types of stories:

  1. Battles of Scotland
  2. Ancient Irish History
  3. Appalachian Mountains
  4. Historical Family
  5. Recent Family
  6. Bible Women -- One-Woman-Interpretation
  7. Ghost Walks Ghost Stories
  8. Sittin-Up-With-The-Dead
  9. Audience Participation Stories

Other Types of Speeches:

  1. Brain Injury -- I also speak on the affects of brain injury and have spoken at the Virginia General Assembly Budget Hearing, the Newport News City Council, Age and Abilities Expo, East Virginia Medical School and many other events.
  2. Mentor-ship -- the importance and how to set up a mentor-ship program. I have been a mentor in Toastmasters for years and in other situations in the workplace.
  3. Mental Flexibility -- How to change the way you react and think about what goes on around you.


I am from Krypton, Kentucky. No, it isn't where Superman is from, but there are a lot of super people who live there. Krypton is a short side trip between Hazard and Buckhorn in the Southeastern mountains of Kentucky. Coal mining is the main industry here.

I travel all over the East Coast telling my tales. For information on available dates and price, please contact me at janetinva@beloved-creations.com

I have been a member of Toastmasters International since 2000. I have given over 50 speeches within Toastmasters, over 100 outside of Toastmasters. On July first I will be the Immediate Past President of the Oyster Point Speakers Club and the Area Governor of Area 12 in Virginia. Toastmasters is a public speaking and leadership club. http://toastmasters.org/
