March 2024
March
What things do you like to listen to?
What are you usually doing as you listen?
What kinds of music, information and stories can you not get enough of?
Welcome to March ☘️ I’m delighted YOU are here with me and with us—Live Your Story is a wonderful, welcoming community and we need you!
Our seasonal theme of listening focuses on THINGS this month and as we listen I’m inviting us to consider how these things influence what we think, feel and do? Let’s pay attention as we LISTEN TO THINGS and see what we observe and learn.

Hue & Me
Click to PRINT
Can you imagine the world without GREEN? Probably not, because it is clearly nature’s favorite neutral and we love to gaze out on it, walk through it, photograph, paint and wear it. As St. Patrick’s Day and spring approaches, we decorate with it. Greens are universally synonymous with fresh and healthy (and any and all earth and environment supporting efforts) and marketers know this. You might even be in the habit of saying I’m “eating or drinking” my greens!
If you’ve ever decorated a physical space, you know how important plants are—real or artificial—green looks fabulous with any interior style and adds a finishing, comforting and welcoming vibe.
In March, we are noticing and playing with shades and tints of green, where one tone is used in a much larger proportion than the others. Enjoy this chance to “scrap your greens!”

This illustration caught my eye because of the way it uses our Hue & Me colors!
I also love that the article it was created for is all about the power and health benefits of houseplants.
Do you have a favorite plant now?
Have you ever?
Can you think of a story that is linked to plants in or outside your home?
Let yourself be inspired by the colors, shapes and topic of this printable!
Love Your Library Video
This month were are wrapping up our year-long review of Photo Freedom before starting again in April. I’ve got some thoughts on reviewing and recognizing as well as some advice for backing it all up! FYI: We will discuss backup more in our Story Coaching session this month!
Story Process Video
Yay! Member, Cindy Stepan is sharing her story process with us in March. She is using the same 4 Story Deck cards as Stacy, so it will be FUN to see how her story unfolds and evolves. IF you would like to record and share a Story Process video in 2024, please use this Google Form to sign up.

Where I live, March is the month when things begin to grow. Buds appear on trees, blades of grass perk up and stand tall and tiny crocuses push up through nearly frozen earth.
We’ve been discussing how to grow stories. Idea seeds are nearly everywhere, but they must be given some light and fed with curiosity and attention. With time and some nurturing, stories mature and we discover how to harvest and preserve them.
Thanks for growing your stories with m e!
