play your story

September 21, 2011

They are outside in a world I can’t see
with ninjas and Star Wars and other strong fighters.

Play is where they are.

What now, brother? What’s next?

There’s never an end to the story they create.

Story begins with Play.

They happen upon a treasure. A bug or maybe a rock or acorn.

They see it this way because story is treasure

and taking time for the freedom of fun keeps us fully alive
and wanting to tell the story.

 

Friends! Please join the Story Bleed team and the Go Go Gang in celebrating World Wide Day of Play by uploading a photo of your kids at play to the GoGoSqueeZ Facebook page. After the Go Go Gang on Facebook reaches 100,000 playful photos, GoGo SqueeZ will build a playground in an area that’s lacking a fun space to play!

I love how this is such a simple way to do some good in the world and I’m honored to take part. We sincerely love GoGo squeeZ on-the-go applesauces over here. Miles prefers apple-cinnamon and Asher apple-strawberry. Just so you know.

One last good thing: Head on over to Story Bleed to learn all about how you can be featured there after sharing your World Wide Day of Play photo!

This post is sponsored by Story Bleed on behalf of GoGo squeeZ as part of the #GoGoDayOfPlay photo carnival.

LOVE your words and photos to go with them.

I have two boys as well and, well…brothers at play are pretty much priceless.

What a great thing to build a playspace for children who wouldn’t have one otherwise. And how easy for us to get involved!! I love sharing with a purpose!! Thanks!

Play, eyes open to the adventures and joys that surround us. I wish my vision were that good.

We just discovered GoGo Squeez for lunches! I’ll look around for a picture to share for their cause. Meanwhile, that picture of the boys on the slide is priceless.
