Telling Your Life Story
Writing your memoirs not only blesses your family and acquaintances but leads you to new discoveries about the meaning of your life.
Whether you want to tell a few adventures and remark on some successes and pitfalls, or make a comprehensive book about your life, this workshop will help you gain ideas, feel confident in planning, show you unique elements in your own story, and suggest ways to make your memoirs permanent.
In-class exercises and lots of examples will send you home with new materials and strategies. And, a day spent with those sharing similar goals invariably turns out to be interesting, relaxing, and fun!
