As I get my newsletter ready for my October 1st mailing I thought it might be worthwhile to explain a few things about the newsletter. I truly want as many people to leave their story behind for future generations of their family. I do not want you to just leave dates for some relative to do research of their genealogy and discover you. By send out a monthly newsletter I am reminding people how important life history can be. I use the essays as away to tell a bit of my story as a hope that readers may have experienced similar things. It also gives the readers the idea that we are not talking about 100′s of pages of writing. Our lives are not that different from each other and yet we are so unique. The newsletters demonstrate that it is one story at a time. And most of us can do that.
The triggers are my thoughts of what might spur more thoughts about the subject. I am sure that some readers read the story and triggers and are left cold but then the next months story comes. I am not a psychologist so I have never taken any formal training in triggers but I do know from experiences with clients that by asking the same questions differently they are able to remember their own experiences and then able to work for hours on their own memoirs.
My newsletters are free and come out the first of every month. It was the collection of these newsletters that created the book Remembering. You too can sign up for the newsletter by just emailing me at hella@lifestorytriggers.com and in the subject line enter newsletter and you will be added to the list. October 1st the next one comes out.
