For some time, I had contemplated writing a history of my life. I wanted to leave a record of my existence for my kids and grandchildren. I wanted this and I was motivated to do it, but I really didn’t know where to begin…until my daughter gave me the gift of Storyworth! Storyworth presented me with an opportunity to tell my story in a unique and impactful way. Instead of a chronological recitation of events, the weekly Storybook “questions” caused me to focus on topics that allowed me to truly reveal those experiences in my life that shaped me as a person. These were things my kids wanted to know but also things that I wanted them to know…things like my religious beliefs, things like my successes and failures, things like my philosophy of life, things about my work experiences, things about my relationships and the people I love, etc. It was more about the ingredients that made me who I am and not about dates and places. Each week, the stories took me about an hour or two to write. Honestly, I couldn’t wait to get the weekly question on Monday! The questions caused me to be very introspective and I feel that , by writing on these questions, I have grown as an individual. I received my books last week. I ordered the color version ( which I highly recommend!). I purchased four copies for the important people in my life! The book is professionally printed and bound. I am proud of the book of my “Reflections “ that I wrote and that Storybook helped me produced. I feel comforted knowing that I had an opportunity to explain, in my own words, my life’s story.
