Her parents moved to a different state every couple of years, but wherever they went ... she found stories. She has worked for over twenty years in insurance product management. She has also taught college mathematics and built probability models for an electronic game company. Those day jobs moved her further and further north. Now she finds herself living in the frozen tundra of Minnesota with her husband, two sons, and a cat who begs to return to a warmer climate. Christy loves Minneapolis, so that cat will have to buck up and grow a thicker coat (don’tcha know). She is the author of Angels, Monks, and Hormones; Moonshine, Madness, and Murder; and Transgression. In addition to her novels, she is a frequent storyteller around the Twin Cities, a multiple winner of the Twin Cities Moth, and the 2016 SlamMN! Grand Slam champion.

At other times, we have welcomed the opportunity to be by ourselves. At this gathering, we will reflect on the welcomings and receivings that are part of our life’s experience. OARS in the Water is a facilitated Zoom gathering on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month offered by Healing Story Alliance to create a listening space to share the experiences and stories that have emerged through turbulent times. This is not a therapeutic circle but we do hope it will be healing, supportive and inspiring. Admission is free, although donations are deeply appreciated and help support our programming.

Since 1978, Sara has been telling these stories to audiences of all ages. A listener said, “Sara is a captivating storyteller, sensitive to her audience and their interests. Her extensive repertoire enables her to present programs on a wide variety of themes.” Sara is a published poet who also teaches poetry-writing classes. In 2004, she was awarded the Barbara Reed Award for Distinguished and Outstanding Service to the Connecticut Storytelling Community. She was a featured teller at the 2023 Connecticut Storytelling Festival. http://storydebeer.com/ Donna Marie Kuczynski writes, "When I first decided to tell a story instead of read one, I wasn't sure about the whole idea; but I remembered loving the stories that my grandmother (Katie Corcoran Barry) told me, so I started with one of hers and added a few details of my own. Telling stories isn't easier than reading books, storytelling is a completely different art. Storytelling is a responsive art form.” Donna Marie won the 2002 National Storytelling Network "Oracle" award, North Central Region for exemplary service and significant contributions to the community through storytelling.
