Create a memoir that will be read, enjoyed, and treasured!
In ancient times, family memories and lessons passed from
generation to generation through elaborate oral histories,
often in song, poetry, or legend. More recently (before television),
children heard their elders' stories at the dinner table, on the back
porch, or around the fireplace. These traditions may have faded, but
they are being replaced by the written or recorded memoirs of
people like you and me.
Your history is priceless. It's more important than dates (1066) and
kings (Ethelred the Unready) and battles (Waterloo) and discoveries
(Hispaniola).
tapestry is exhilarating. It's amazing to watch your history take
shape... to become a work of art, revealing patterns you never
imagined and showing how your life has made a difference. Many
memoir-writers say that they see the imprint of divine guidance in
their histories.
Telling your story is good for your health! Research shows
that creating a memoir has physical and emotional benefits...
banishing depression, low self-esteem, pain, and fatigue;
reclaiming your memories, making peace with yourself and
others, putting aside guilt and blame....
Passing on your heritage—your experiences, wisdom, beliefs,
and values—is the greatest thing you can give your children
and future generations. And you're the only one who can!
Your memoir will enrich your relationships with family
members and put you in touch with old friends.
