How to preserve your life stories

If you are like most people, eventually you will become a silent photo in the family album in less than three generations. All of your life's accomplishments, at best, will eventually be wrapped up in one quick comment like "That's grandpa Joe, he was a businessman." or "That was Dad's grandpa, he was something important, but I can't recall".

Harsh but true.

"Not me", you may say - because you have taken the time and had the forethought to write these stories down in a 3-ringed binder or saved them on the hard drive of your PC - or even burned them on CD.

Nice try. That's still not going to work. No one is going to drag around your binder, and, eventually, it will find its way to a box in the attic. Your PC's hard drive will eventually be gone as will the CD's that you so diligently burned.

All that effort, love, and time - lost.

That is, until now.

Realizing the truth of the hard drive, the CD, and the binder I created a website for you to download your photo's, create your friends list, and create your stories - forever and have them accessible online and available to the people you want to reach them. On their terms, in their timeframe.

Here is the problem as I see it...

If you are 40 or over you have stories. You want to share your stories - mostly with your kids and grandkids - but they are not ready to "listen" and appreciate them. Someday they will be, but probably not in our lifetime. As such, your stories are told less and less until they are simply forgotten.

Now, however, you can go to this website, create your photo library, identify the people you want to share the stories with, and create all your stories. Then you simply attached the photos you want to each story, select the names you want to share it with, and Viola! your stories are shared as well as preserved.

This website is new. It's free for the first 90 days. Give it a try.
