MINIMALIST MEMOIRS:
Jotting Down the Stories of Your Moments That Matter Most
6 week online Mini-Stories Creation program
with an intimate small group of sentimental moms and grammas
We know we don’t have all the time in the world. One day our parents and grandparents won’t be able to tell us what we REALLY want to know about their lives.
And one day we won’t be around to share snippets of our own life that we’ve just been holding in our heads…waiting until someday.
Someday is NOW…It’s Time to Set Your Memories FREE
LET’S CURATE AND CAPTURE
THOSE MEMORIES THAT MATTER MOST!
~Have you hesitated, feeling it would be time-consuming and overwhelming to decide which stories to capture?
~Perhaps you’ve worried that nobody in your family would care to read what you might write about your life.
~Maybe you think you need to get all your photos organized before you can start jotting any stories down.
Now there’s a simple and fun framework for curating and preserving moments that matter most with a more playful sense of child-like wonder and curiosity. It’s a refreshingly freeing way to do Life Story differently.
Introducing MINIMALIST MEMOIRS, where you’ll learn strategies and techniques for taking bite-sized action in the time you DO have available. You’ll prioritize those Moments That Matter Most To You and get those captured the way YOU want them expressed.
What’s Your Life Story?
You’ve lived and loved your way through decades of experiences, conversations, places and emotions. You’ve learned and lost and shared and stuffed. There are so many facets to your story. It can’t be contained in only one life story, no matter how lengthy.
It’s made up of a multitude of mini-stories…and it’s time to be collecting yours, one Moment That Matters at a time. It’s time to let go of the guilt you’ve been feeling over not preserving ALL the photos and ALL the stories and ALL the stuff. It’s time to curate your Minimalist Memoirs.
There’s more to a Life Story than what photos and memorabilia can capture…
and only YOU know how to express that
NOT ALL of your memories carry equal Heart Value.
I’ll help you uncover those HeartStories
that light you up, crack you up or choke you up
and express those, with ease and in your unique way!
You’ll end up with your curated collection of Minimalist Memoirs.
Together they provide a collage of the snippets of life that make up YOU.
What could be more fun, fulfilling, and empowering?
