Nothing contrived or rehearsed. You don't have to be clever or funny. You just have to be curious. The rest flows. People are generally quirky and worthy of at least 5 minutes of each other's attention. You need to come to one to experience one.... Here are some details! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1449794824872-QTYNDY72DB2IX35Y2YPV/climbing_out_from_under.png Project_index - A Handbook for Heartbreak Deborah wrote this book in collaboration with Dr. Caron Post. It's written as a handbook, for eyes that may be too swollen from crying to even see. It's short enough to be read in one sitting but deep enough to serve as a reference for a lifetime. Heartbreaks big and small are re-percussive - they re-surface again and again. Having this handbook on the shelf seems right for most of us. You can purchase a copy at Amazon . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1449793794851-72L4B52T3P2HPN8PE704/artists_for_literacy.png Project_index - LitRemix & Artists for Literacy Founded by Deborah, Artists for Literacy is a non-profit that serves the needs of adolescent and adult literacy programs in California. She has leveraged the power of art to inspire awareness of the issue of illiteracy, and has galvanized the participation of artists, readers, authors, teachers, students and the media. Her work has been covered by the New York Times, NPR, Billboard Magazine, RollingStone, and the BBC. In 2015, she expanded the organization to include LitRemix - The Literature Remix Project. Her goal is to build the world's first interactive platform of art inspired by literature. Songs, movies, performance and visual art inspired by books will be aggregated and curated for the first time in one place. Start to explore the legacy of AFL. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453924508032-YFGYUOKWP3EAXQP1E88O/debTHEMEsongWEB.jpg Project_index - Theme Songs This CD is an example of 12 songs written for a storytelling series in Los Angeles.

A shout out to students all over the country mobilized other individuals & schools to record the song, bringing their own talents and perspectives to the project.

Each participant has up to 5 minutes to tell a personal story about an object they are holding in their hands. Although Show & Tell is a child's activity in schools, this adult version connects communities through storytelling that celebrates diversity, travel, family and inter-generational sharing. It captures the whole range of human experiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419131059-29657QWC25UNR6W6L8V4/IMG_5875.jpg showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419131745-ERLXL5443GMN5FH6E38I/IMG_5876.jpg showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419131505-2OLKKMAD02O0R002LE8J/IMG_5877.jpg showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419135554-YFI1PRMJLGQLP072H7SN/IMG_6217.jpg showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419136671-GKZQ038EBVCHR96W16MX/IMG_6704.jpg showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419137077-NYFVMYVPC8ON1AHQF8K8/IMG_6713.jpg showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419137348-19MIZSCS7MC8NY1TYZVZ/IMG_6723.jpg showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419137382-0FIRE9OVQ2O86GD6H0U2/kathleen.JPG showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419139367-NIVNC715CBVAMXK3J0BW/labrynth.jpg showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419139055-4GWCS6I6UOJP7DAWYZSW/march2012.jpg showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419139342-C16KGN1KC0AJZ5AS8EHH/nancy.JPG showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419141283-HDNQ771655C7QTIZ46DB/pumpkin.jpg showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419140375-GR7NDMFJR4KZZG3300PY/showtellcrowd.jpg showtell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419143561-QCBBQADPOL4P9RYN0Q07/tattoo.jpg showtell http://www.deborahpardes.com/welcome daily 1.0 2026-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/7d72871d-338c-4494-a4e1-2d37222ed185/Deborah+Pardes.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/09d16660-efb6-4e10-a482-98e417a9bc8d/Screenshot+2024-07-24+at+11.19.09%E2%80%AFAM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/2ffe8650-37f6-4641-b347-fc17fceb2b39/getsmartradio2017.png http://www.deborahpardes.com/projects-gallery daily 0.75 2026-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1471903042291-EEERG1L8JK865PRHE4CN/Screen+Shot+2016-08-22+at+2.55.03+PM.png Projects Gallery - Outer Space Balloon - Song / Animation Project (Copy) Outer Space Balloon - Song / Animation Project Deborah Pardes and Shelley Cassidy have teamed up to create a children's book that follows the journey of a bold and brilliant little girl as she visits the moon in her home-made Outer Space Balloon.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453419640089-LQ4OA5AGTY9M15QVU7NI/Screen+Shot+2016-01-21+at+3.37.44+PM.png Projects Gallery - Show & Tell Network (Copy) Show & Tell Network Show & Tell taps a never ending source for story. Nothing contrived or rehearsed. You don't have to be clever or funny. You just have to be curious. The rest flows. People are generally quirky and worthy of at least 5 minutes of each other's attention. You need to come to one to experience one.... Here are some details! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1449794824872-QTYNDY72DB2IX35Y2YPV/climbing_out_from_under.png Projects Gallery - A Handbook for Heartbreak (Copy) A Handbook for Heartbreak Deborah wrote this book in collaboration with Dr. Caron Post. It's written as a handbook, for eyes that may be too swollen from crying to even see. It's short enough to be read in one sitting but deep enough to serve as a reference for a lifetime. Heartbreaks big and small are re-percussive - they re-surface again and again. Having this handbook on the shelf seems right for most of us. You can purchase a copy at Amazon . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1449793794851-72L4B52T3P2HPN8PE704/artists_for_literacy.png Projects Gallery - LitRemix & Artists for Literacy (Copy) LitRemix & Artists for Literacy Founded by Deborah, Artists for Literacy is a non-profit that serves the needs of adolescent and adult literacy programs in California. She has leveraged the power of art to inspire awareness of the issue of illiteracy, and has galvanized the participation of artists, readers, authors, teachers, students and the media. Her work has been covered by the New York Times, NPR, Billboard Magazine, RollingStone, and the BBC. In 2015, she expanded the organization to include LitRemix - The Literature Remix Project. Her goal is to build the world's first interactive platform of art inspired by literature. Songs, movies, performance and visual art inspired by books will be aggregated and curated for the first time in one place. Start to explore the legacy of AFL. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5668a02069a91a37426b8507/1453924508032-YFGYUOKWP3EAXQP1E88O/debTHEMEsongWEB.jpg Projects Gallery - Theme Songs (Copy) Theme Songs This CD is an example of 12 songs written for a storytelling series in Los Angeles.

A shout out to students all over the country mobilized other individuals & schools to record the song, bringing their own talents and perspectives to the project.
