How to Write Your LifeStory
Each of us has a history and our own unique story. From time to time, photographic slides of the past, of both good and bad times, show in our mind. Memories continually dance around in our heads. There may come a time when you may want to preserve these unforgettable moments on paper. This Memoir Workbook was developed to help you capture those moments. Work at your own pace and in your own words.
Writing a memoir can be a daunting and, at times, emotional experience. It is also exciting, fulfilling and rewarding. A memoir is a true story you tell about specific events, experiences or times in your life. You can write about the whole span of your life or one specific episode.
Perhaps you want to write a book that might help or inspire others outside your circle of family and friends. You may want to write down your experiences to heal your own soul or come to terms with a difficult emotional past. You may simply want to leave a lasting record that celebrates your life!
This workbook will help you create a record and a legacy of your life for your family. Children, grandchildren and other relatives will enjoy learning about your life. Provide generations to come a history of what you contributed to your family and your community. Tell them how you lived your life and the truths about your choices and experiences. Show them how you faced life’s joys and challenges. Share how you loved, cried, struggled and survived it all.
Whatever the reason, in this workbook you will tell your story, your version of your life as it was experienced by you. This is your book, to tell about your life in your own voice, to relay your message and share your vision. This workbook will provide you with the inspiration, motivation and encouragement to finish the task. Don’t keep your memories hidden inside any longer.
This workbook also provides tips for remembering pieces of your story; how to use your own voice; how to maintain a flow to keep the information connected and meaningful; and how to move past limiting mindsets, attitudes and emotions so you do not get paralyzed…so you write your truth from your heart and soul.
So, turn the page and start the great and exciting adventure of writing your LifeStory!

Serenity, and My Missing Keys’’
Having had no experience in writing, but with a burning desire to try to help people reach their goals, I asked Marcia Rosen to help me with the process. Let me tell you, that was the wisest decision I ever made. Marcia has a unique ability to explain the process and help you along. She is upbeat and very knowledgeable in writing and publishing. She will guide you, encourage you and direct your progress. I really could not have done my book without her. Thank you Marcia.
