Your Christmas Story

My uncle unwittingly taught me a big lesson – and it has to do with the importance of stories.  And gifts. So here it is Christmas – and you know I just launched my course related to helping people author their Life-Story in a digital photobook.  So it is REALLY on my mind these days.

The Heart is Connected to the….

You know the sing-song that goes “The toe bone is connected to the foot bone & the foot bone is connected to the ankle bone…”  and so on.  Walks right up the whole body – kids love it! But there is truth in it that goes deeper than the physical body connections.  It is my

You Have A Story

OK – after literally months of work, I’m putting the finishing touches on my long-awaited course – or workshop, if you will.   My goal is to guide people to completion of their Life Story photobook – quickly and easily.  My working title is “Capture the Spirit & Essence of Your Life Story Without Being Overwhelmed!”

A Halloween Perspective

Do you remember your costumes from Halloweens over the years?   Have you got pictures of them through the years?   What did you think of Halloween?  As a kid, as a parent, and some of us as a grandparent? I have heard it called “All Hallows’ Day” and “All Saints Day” but never explored that much.

One Heart, One Story at a Time

You know all those stories you heard from or about your parents, grandparents, relatives or ancestors?  And the few photos that got passed down to you?  And how many of your own life pictures and stories are in your memory space –the box in the basement storage and the one in your head?   And you

Are We Taking TOO MANY Photos?

It is an interesting question – especially since I am helping people do their Life Story albums.  One of the most common responses is “I have way too many photos and memorabilia and….on and on…plus they are scattered all over the place.” Don’t get me wrong – I totally can relate to them! It was

Father’s Day Foto Fix

Father’s Day itself is to be celebrated, but a story by Nick Kelsh (with, of course, the photos to fix it in place) illustrates how lives are impacted, cherished, and fruitfully significant by special events recorded and preserved. And that is why I will keep bringing up the subject – take the photos, keep clicking,
