Writing Your Life Story BlogHere's where you find out what's new at Your Life is Your Story. Dec 31, 2018Review and RenewHere we are, on the cusp of a new year. Many people make big plans to celebrate on New Year's Eve and people are typically in a hopeful and celebratory mood. All good. Dec 23, 2018Asking the Right QuestionsIt's the Holiday Season and as you gather with family and friends it is natural to renew our relationships and talk about our lives. This is typical. What is not so typical is spending the time to preserve the stories about our lives and families for us to appreciate and for future generations to learn about us.

Dec 18, 2018Springsteen Rocks BroadwayBeing a life-long fan of Springsteen I was naturally anxious to see the Springsteen on Broadway show. I couldn't go to New York, but fortunately Netflix is streaming one of the shows in a excellently produced special. Bruce reminisces about his life, growing up, his sometimes embattled but ultimately redeeming relationship with his father, other family members and his career journey. It is passionate and heartfelt. I read Springsteen's memoir, Born to Run, last year and much of the Broadway show feeds on that material.

I definitely think there is a connection. Some artists seem to border on madness, or even tumble into it (e.g. Vincent Van Gogh). Others might seem self absorbed and bizarre (Kanye West, in my opinion). So many creators of music, stories, images and more are vividly alive and hyper-sensitive. Personally, I think this can be a good thing. Nov 21, 2018Gratitude MemoirI think gratitude can be very useful in life reflection and in putting our life stories together. Here's a suggestion that could translate into a satisfying life story exercise. In about 30 minutes I think you could write a short "gratitude memoir". Of course, this would not be a lengthy piece, although it certainly could be expanded at a later time. Nov 12, 2018100th Anniversary of Armistice DayYesterday, November 11, was the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One. This became known as Armistice Day, although in the United States the name of the day has since been renamed Veterans Day to honor all members of our military for their service. |
