Keepsake Memoirs

There is perhaps no more profound, personal experience than writing a memoir.

The Keepsake Memoir is a book I help you write about your life for your family, friends, future generations and other people who love you.. It is not intended for traditional publication. Rather, It is your legacy project, packaged in a quality, hard cover book with glossy pages and lots of color.

Writing a memoir invites you to review, take stock and reflect on the people, events and moments that have made up your life. Writing a memoir will help you to understand yourself and your life better, and then preserve all those valuable memories and stories for yourself and others.

Many of us wonder how we’ll be remembered by future generations. What will they remember of us when we’re gone? What do we know about our older relatives and of their lives before we were born or were too young to appreciate?

A memoir ensures that your memories will be recorded and then live on, not just for the family you have right now, but for the children and their children’s children who will grow up seeking meaning in their own lives and how they connect to their ancestors.

Whatever you’ve done in your life, you’ve undoubtedly done unique, interesting things and made extraordinary memories that you, your loved ones and others would like to preserve. Writing a memoir will allow you to document all of those life stories and special memories of the people, places and events that have been important in your life.

A memoir is an engaging true story of how your life has enfolded. It is based on a particular theme (e.g., surviving an ordeal, heroism, life-long love) with the purpose of inspiring others, leaving a legacy, or imparting wisdom. It’s written with the gift of the perspective you’ve gained over the years, and being able to view your past through new eyes. It draws upon the real-life people, events and moments in your life. A memoir preserves your stories and experiences for all time.

The Keepsake Memoir is a beautiful, 100-page, full-color, hardcover book chock full of images that is a gift to your family, friends and future generations. You can also purchase a Keepsake Memoir gift certificate and give to people whose stories deserve to be told and preserved — grandparents, parents, newlyweds, friends and colleagues.
