Book description
Your life is a unique story, with meaning and value. It is made up of
all the experiences you have lived through - happy and sad, changing
times in the world around you, and precious moments with loved ones.
YOUR LIFE, YOUR STORY shows you how to: * Unlock and express your
memories * Explore and describe your life-changing experiences * Develop
a structure and a chronology for your story * Bring truth and
authenticity to your narrative You might write your life story to gain
perspective at a time of crisis, such as illness or bereavement, or in
later life when you have time to spare. At any age, composing your life
story can give you fresh insight into your relationships, family
history, and your own life path to bring you confidence and fulfilment.
