Mar 9, Storytellers in Santa Fe

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:12:59 GMT

I was in Santa Fe over the weekend. The "City Different" (as it is known to many of us) has been celebrating 400 years. On Sunday I happened to pick up a copy of the local newspaper, The Santa fe New Mexican, and discovered a front-page story about a diverse group who share stories of Santa Fe in a face to face manner. Among them are longtime storytellers Nasario Garcia, Mary Ellen Gonzales, Eva Torees Aschenbrener and Joe Hayes.

Mar 4, Happy National Grammar Day!

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:51:15 GMT

Thanks to fellow APH member Pat McNee (and current president of the Association of Personal Historians) for the reminder that today, March 4, is National Grammar Day. Are you "dotting your i's and crossing the t's" of your writing, etc? We can get caught up in grammar mistakes, but don't let that slow you down from the main point of your life story writing - the content! Yes, good grammar is important, but you can fix that in the re-writing.

Mar 3, New TV Series explores who you are

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 03:24:21 GMT

The idea of discovering who you are by researching your family history is an old one, but surprisingly it is still an idea that has not completely caught on. In other words, saving your personal history is still a growing trend.

This trend is about to get a great boost with a new television series on NBC that explores the family roots and history of several celebrities. Who Do You Think You Are? premieres on Friday, March 5th. The series follows the journeys into the past and life history of seven well-known celebrities, among them Sarah Jessica Parker (actress), Spike Lee (filmmaker), Emmitt Smith (football great) and Lisa Kudrow (actress and the executive producer of this series).

Mar 1, A Glowing Report for Vancouver's "With Glowing Hearts" Winter Olympics

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 03:50:52 GMT

The Winter Olympics 2010 in Vancouver, Canada has wrapped up. Lots of great sports moments. The spirit of International competition at the games often makes me think about our world. We have great diversity in our cultures and countries. But we all have in common the fact that we have the stories of our lives. It was pretty exciting to have the USA battling Canada for the gold medal in hockey. The host country came out on top. Canada also set an olympic record for the most gold medals by one country in a winter olympics. Congratulations to the "Great White North"!

Feb 15, Reflecting on Presidents

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 17:36:56 GMT

Today is the observance of the Presidents Day holiday in the United States. This holiday's original intention was the commemoration of George Washington's birthday(22nd), but since Abraham Lincoln was also born in February (the 12th), it's become recognition of these two great former Commanders in Chief. The "highest office of the land" in this country has been rife with history and controversy.

In my lifetime there's now been eleven presidents. What impact have the presidents had on you? How has your personal history intersected with the nation's? These might be some good things to journal on.
