What is Your Story?

“… what the next generation will value most is not what we owned, but the evidence of who we were and the tales of how we loved. In the end, it’s the family stories that are worth the storage.”
Ellen Goodman

There’s no one I know who doesn’t like stories, if told in an interesting way. Furthermore, I have never met anyone who didn’t enjoy telling stories about themselves. The telling of stories is embedded into our nature, into our cultures.

The truth is, we each have a story of our own to tell. It’s unique. It’s informative. It’s personal. And, it’s important. Sadly, many of our stories and memories pass away from this life along with us. My goal and my gratification are to capture them before they fade away, to keep them alive for generations to come. Not only will the narrator feel greatly satisfied and valued in sharing his or her stories, but families and communities will have a record with which to learn about, connect with and honour those whose lives have made a difference to them.

It’s never too late to begin. Contact me for a complimentary consultation to discuss the options that would work for you.

“As human beings, we learn through stories, and it has been this way for thousands of years. We remember the stories long after we forget the lectures”.

“Please pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Start to finish you handled the project so very well and produced a beautifully written book that will be treasured by family members. There is much to be said by having the opportunity to tell one’s story. Wish deepest gratitude for your persistence, kindness, and gift of writing.”

“Anne, you have that special talent that so few have – to be able to take the words spoken and put them in text for so the many quiet voices that just want the respect of being heard.”

“The process of recounting my early years to Anne was so meaningful to me and surprisingly so easy. Bringing back many long-forgotten memories of family and my childhood antics was truly a joyful walk down memory lane.”
