The Storyline SLAM: Silver Lining

8 Tellers | 6 Minutes | 1 Winner |Theme: Silver Lining

Every storm has a story and sometimes, a silver lining.

A silver lining isn’t about pretending everything is okay. It’s about noticing what shifted, what softened, or what strengthened you when life didn’t go as planned. It might be the friendship that formed in a difficult season, the humor found in an awkward disaster, or the clarity that followed a hard goodbye. These stories don’t deny the darkness; they honor it while pointing to what endured.

At our March Storytelling Slam, tellers take the stage to share real moments of resilience, perspective, and surprise. Expect heartfelt honesty and those rare moments when a room full of strangers becomes community.

If you have a story that still surprises you with what it revealed, this is your invitation. Sign up at TheStoryline.org by Saturday, 03.21.26 to enter the storytelling drawing.

Even in imperfect moments, something meaningful can still shine.

Come for the stories. Stay for the community. Leave a little lighter.
