WRITE YOUR STORY
It's helpful to start with an idea of what your story is, or what you think your story is.
This could take 15 minutes or several weeks.
Jot down the basic "facts," birth info, family, places, school, church, college, marriage.
To jog your memory, you might break it up into years....1-5, 6-10 or whatever you like.
After the basic information, start to write down memories - first grade teacher, a Christmas, midnight mass, mother's dewberry cobbler. You could also write down some fears, hopes, dreams.
And know that it is only version off the truth, or a past version.
Because today, this very moment, you could write an entirely new story.
The past is only prologue. The best is yet to come! You want to make something out of it?
Whenever you feel complete with this story, move on to Transform your story.
