Everyone has a story.
We all have a personal story worth sharing. Even if you have never left your hometown, you have taken forks in the road that have made your journey unique. Your Life Story is as individual as sea glass and just as collectible. It all begins with you. Writing your memoir helps you to identify the threads and themes in your life and make sense of what you’ve lived.
Some of us may wish to leave a legacy, a recorded history for future generations. Some may have been wanting to create their Life Story for their own enjoyment. While others have life lessons and wisdom to pass along. Whatever the reason, how you tell your story can make all the difference in transforming you and all those around you. The Story Guides can help.
“I am not a writer. At least I didn't think so until Leigh and Lily awakened the storyteller in me!”
—Jan G. Alaska.
Leave a Legacy
We all have our reasons for wanting to write our story. You may want to leave a legacy for your children or grandchildren. Stories for those not yet born, but left behind so they will know you intimately long after you are gone. Some of you are going through a transition, be that retirement or empty nesting. These life challenges make us seek a new direction, and a better sense of who we are, and where we are headed. Recalling and chronicling important milestones of your lives through the act of writing, and then sharing within the small intimate group setting is at the heart of the guided autobiography philosophy.
Complete your Story
You may have started a memoir, but keep putting if off, or putting it down, finding it hard to kick start the idea on your own. Writing and sharing life stories with others is an ideal way to find new meaning in life and to put life events into perspective. Enlivened and empowered, you will feel a new sense of direction and a deeper appreciation for hearing stories that speak to the human frailty in us all. Do your best writing alone and with others, and cultivate new and lasting friendships and relationships.
