Your Words, Your Life Story: A Journal for Sharing Memories

Five Fun Facts About the Author J.Q. Rose

1. Fun fact. I like potato chips dipped in ketchup accompanied by a cold glass of chocolate milk.
2. Fun fact. I kicked up my heels as a hobo from Hooverville in the chorus line of the community players’ production of Annie. So much fun and a dream fulfilled.
3. Fun fact. I helped to build the ark. No, not THAT ark, silly. The ark is the centerpiece of the Ark Park, a playground for the community.
4. Fun fact. In my bio photo, the red Mustang convertible was a surprise birthday gift from my hubby in 1995. Still drives like it’s new.
5. Fun fact. My older brothers and I all played cornet/trumpet in the school band. They made sure to stand out on the front porch when I practiced at home so the neighbors could see they were not the ones tooting out those sour notes.

Not into writing?

Discover audio and video programs to bring your authentic voice to listeners.

Silly questions that have nothing to do with your life are not in the book. Instead, the guide prompts you to remember details to develop a rich tapestry to share in single vignettes or in a collection. Take the opportunity to tell the familiar stories you have told around the family table, then organize and keep them just for your family and/or publish them.

Your Words, Your Life Story will help ignite and share your memories. You won’t be alone on your journey down memory lane. Receive support through the private Facebook group, TellingYour Life Story and Memoir Circle. You’re invited to join in to share stories, resources, tips, experiences, and memories.

Preserving the experiences of the past for future generations is important.

As they peruse the stories, they will wonder how you lived without a TV, a computer or microwave. The story of your life, the struggles, the joys, the accomplishments will be what the next generations understand. Your account will be a guide to help them through their own lives.

Start now to put together the vignettes that make up your life story and create a treasured family keepsake.
