Once Upon a Time You Died Before We Really Knew You
When we think of stories, we often flash back to the ones we read as children that began “Once upon a time…” Or we admire the movies we grew up on. We often do not realize that we all have our own stories just as colorful, engaging, and amazing, if only we’d share them, especially with our families and loved ones.
Think your life story is boring?
“There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.” ~Mark Twain
Too many of us die with our stories inside us (to paraphrase a quote from Wayne Dyer urging us not to die with our music inside us.)
Your life story doesn’t have to be a well-crafted narrative or compelling drama by the world’s standards. It could be a collection of your favorite family recipes with the stories and family traditions that go with them.
Perhaps you’ll enjoy sharing various adventures and narrow escapes you’ve experienced, complete with photos with colorful commentary or amazing artifacts.
A major publisher might insist you leave out some of the details for fear of harming book sales.
But you’re not trying to write a best seller.
