Joys of A Memoir

A Memoir or an Autobiography is an enriching experience for both the author and the reader. These are some of the joys of a memoir:

Puts your life in perspective
Recent scientific studies indicate that life review can be therapeutic. In telling your story you relive life's experiences. This often results in healing and reconciliation: acceptance and forgiveness of oneself and of others.

Shows appreciation for those who shaped you.
You are who you are because of your parents and grandparents, spouse or partner, siblings and relatives, children and grandchildren, teachers, co-workers and friends. Now you can acknowledge, indelibly, their support and contribution to your life.

Shares the lessons life has taught you

In narrating your life story, you share the values and wisdom you have gained over the years. This validates your life and demonstrates that integrity and hard work lead to happiness and fulfillment.

Keeps your spirit and memory alive, forever
When your time is over, you leave everything behind except your personal experiences, memories and wisdom. In a generation or two you’re just a name, with perhaps, a photograph to give it a face. The rich details and fullness of your life, sadly, risk fading into oblivion if not recorded.

Keeps alive your family’s heritage
Increasingly, your descendents will live thousands of miles from “home”, and marry into nationalities and cultures far removed from that of your forebears. Their varied heritage will include the one you bequeath to them. In sharing your stories, you bring alive the rich tapestry of their heritage.

Becomes the most treasured gift you bequeath to your descendents
Sure, the wealth you leave behind is appreciated, but in quick time it gets taken for granted, and most often it diminishes over generations. Your life in your own words remains pure, and increases in value with time. Five generations later, it will continue to be appreciated as the most valuable legacy you have left behind.
