"I
am truly enjoying reading your book. At about page 47, I
couldn’t stand it any longer, I grabbed my spiral notepad and
started writing like crazy! Thanks for inspiring me." ~Karen

Why
Put Your Life in Writing?
Do
it for yourself
Do
it for your siblings
Do
it for your children
Do
it for someone who loves you
You'll
need a media player to hear this clip
Who
are the people in Dad's photo album?
What
were Mom's greatest aspirations?
Why
did we move so often?
Why
didn't we ever leave this town?
What
did my grandfather do for a living?
What
were their favorite hobbies?
How
am like them? How am I different?
Do you ever find yourself asking such questions? Wouldn't it
be nice if you could ask now and get the answers? You could at least
fill in some blanks if the stories had been captured while your
relatives were alive.
Do you want your family, your children, asking similar questions?
You may not get all the answers, but there is learning simply in
the asking.
Benefits of writing your life story:
Heal the past
Leave a legacy
Learn what you hold dear
Pass on your values to family members
Honor and acknowledge the life you've lived
You won't leave loved ones holding the bag of
questions
