Writing your own legacy is a very rewarding, and at the same time a unique
endeavor. Capturing our past in bits and pieces and putting them
together is important−plus a wonderful legacy gift for our
children and others as well.
Today, in America's helter-skelter busyness of living,
we are losing the art of storytelling−that is, the telling and passing on
of our own stories. And as a result the legacy that we pass on is
incomplete. Once we are gone, that legacy can be lost forever.
Realizing this fact, more and more
folks are starting to collect and write some of their life stories. But the
task may seem daunting…what to tell…where to begin…how to write it to
interest future readers.
Well, take heart!
Now there is help that can make the
important job of legacy writing easier−and fun
in the form of a unique guide that takes the legacy writer through the
process from start to finish.
Remember that your children, grandchildren, friends,
and others will thank you a million times over for taking the time to pass
on to them their heritage. Your legacy stories will be cherished for
years to come!
