By preserving your own personal history, you can create a family treasure. The stories of your life will be a meaningful gift for your family, friends, and others - a way to record your legacy and share your stories with future generations.
— Amy M.
The process of creating your memoir also provides you with a meaningful opportunity to reflect on your life. It allows you to pause and make sense of the past. You may become aware of patterns and trends in your life: Who has influenced you the most? What were the defining moments that were pivital points in your life? Which decisions sent you down a path that shaped the rest of your life? What lessons have you learned from the obstacles you have faced? What insight would you like to pass along to your children or grandchildren?
Many of our clients fit one of the following profiles:
- An individual motivated to tell and share their own stories;
- Adult children who would like to preserve their parents stories along with the legacy of earlier generations;
- Businesses or non-profit organizations interested in recording the history of their business or organization;
- People of any age who want an unforgettable gift for a milestone birthday or anniversary, or who would like to memorialize a loved one so his or her stories will live on.
Each personal history project is unique. You may fit into one of the categories above or you might have a very different story. We would be happy to offer you a free consultation to discuss the options to create an individualized project to fit your needs.
We look forward to working with you to preserve your own memoirs, milestones, and personal history.
