Life writing is an opportunity to enjoy all the events and people of your life in a new and likely even more interesting way.
Why?
Now you have something delicious called perspective, and a wealth of experience that enables you to fully grasp the significance of what you’ve been through, you’ll see what you learned and how important that learning is. You’ll recognize those beautiful serendipitous coincidences that brought you to the right place at the right time, and introduced you to valued friends, partners and opportunities.
You’ll see the bigger picture and what could be more life affirming than that? You will begin to see the meaning of some of what has come into your life, be able to acknowledge the connections, the themes and the importance of those in your life.
Once you have the main people, events and memories noted, you can begin the process of crafting your story to share with loved ones.
I’m creating a Memory Workbook to help you sketch the important bits, and to help spark your memories. I’ll be releasing it in the next few weeks. In the meantime, get yourself a notebook, find a comfortable pen, and start jotting down things you remember. Make a list, it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.
Let me know how it’s going in the comments.
