Come to us,
Welcome, we are here for you.
Relax your head, your neck, your shoulders, your legs, arms, fingers and toes.
Warmth will soon surround and envelope you.
Nestle between us.
Quiet your thoughts.
Drift off to sleep, to dream.
Sooth your soul in the nest we create for you.
Peace be with you.

Names of Paint colors:
There is a lot of potential in this list.
Check out this link for storytelling templates like:
Your story can be told in four simple parts:
- Once upon a time: The introduction. Set the stage; where does your story start?
- Suddenly: The story’s characters are confronted with a challenge.
- And then: The characters take action to address it.
- Happily ever after: How did it all work out?

ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A DEAR CO-WORKER
who engaged us with her
Vivacious vocation
Profound profession
Lessons of livelihood
Existential experience
SUDDENLY, THERE WAS TRANSITION TO RETIREMENT
AND THEN WE GATHERED TO TELL OUR STORIES
KL storyboard 1
Inspired by names of paint colors, comic strips, images of chocolate, popcorn, a transmission and “golden” nest eggs;
we honored our long time friend
and recanted the habits of highly effective people which she embodies.
KL storyboard 2
More names of paint colors on the second storyboard panel inspired dreams of travel adventures around the world.
…and a happily ever after.
Credit to Liza Hyatt for using paint names for input to creative writing projects. Just maybe this story evolves and becomes poetry, lyrics, short story, article, autobiography or novel.
I actually applied paint chips to the storyboards in these photos as well as calendar images, wrapping paper, Christmas card, decorative paper, puzzle and a Designed Experiment matrix.
