Whether your interest is in family history, a family inspirational story, or creating keepsakes, the art of recording your life
is a valued one, an honourable one - one well worth pursuing and preserving.
Now, thanks to Noreen Shanahan you too can create a Tangible
Legacy to be Preserved and Honoured, as Simple as Paint-by-Number!
While addressing the particular concerns older adults might have in writing this kind of inspirational
story , "Rampant with Memory" shows how one's family history is available to each one of us,
at any age and juncture in our lives.
What does it look like, to write an autobiography ?
Well,
sharpen your pencil, rev up your engine, settle in your chair and get ready to time-travel!
Do you have an interesting and provocative memento gathering dust on your shelf? Take it down, along with all your
other precious objects---all those years you've been busy creating keepsakes ---and tell their stories.
The poet T.S. Eliot once wrote about measuring his life in coffee spoons. How about you? How have you measured
your life? For some people, it's collecting similar keepsakes. For others, it might be journal writing or scrap
booking. Writing an autobiography is one other way and this guide
will peel off the layers of mystery and show you how to fruitfully
use this time in your life to set forth your cherished legacy.
