Celeste is a certified massage therapist for 30 years mostly working with people who have been injured in some way. But before that she loved stories of all kinds beginning with the family movie nights instituted by the parents she shares with Lucinda. Celeste got hooked on reading in 7th grade.

Lucinda is a retired theatre instructor at the high school and college levels. She was a late bloomer to becoming an avid reader. During her Senior year in high school, she fell in love with Classic British Literature. But the love of stories sustained both Celeste and Lucinda and taught them valuable lessons, as they explain in this fifth year anniversary of Story-Power.

Classic Cinema With the Sage Sisters On YouTube

Stories are a huge part of the way humans communicate with each other. I think all stories are allegories where we can learn all kinds of important things, not the least of which is how to understand ourselves and others better. The best stories can be told over and over from one generation to the next and still teach great lessons. Emotional Intelligence and critical thinking are two of those lessons. Celeste and I think there are many classic movies that show us the progression of where humanity is today and we want to share them with you.

Shakespeare was right, “All the world is a stage and all the men and women merely players.” The stories we tell and consume are us trying to figure out who we are, why we’re here, who we want to be, and the kind of world we want to live in.
