You are born. You live a life. You die. Those facts are the same for every single human being—three facts, three identical aspects of life. But that is all we will ever share identically with others. Our lives are unique from when we take our first breath to when we take our last. No other being will experience life exactly as we do. Our story is our legacy. We might put aside riches, businesses, and other legacy pieces, but our story will outlive us and outlast all physical possessions, if only in the sands of time.
What if you want to preserve that legacy in book form? Writing your memoir is your best option, allowing you to tell your story as YOU remember it. A biography or autobiography is beholden to facts; a memoir is beholden to memory, sometimes overriding facts. A great memoir is your story, written with truth.
It often takes great courage to begin writing your story. I am always aware of that courage and of the sanctity of your memories. My task is to help you tell your story and find your true voice in doing so.
