This book taught me how to write my life story in notebook format. I prepared a blue 3 ring binder with 54 section encompassing topics like Talents, Children, Friends etc. I tried to write on all the topics, but it was a chore rather than a pleasure. I am disappointed in myself, so in 2010, I hired a professional to interview and make videos featuring my husband and myself individually and the two of us together. I gave copies to our children. They can choose when or if they watch them.
