Do you have an ancestor who kept a journal? What impressed you from the words they left behind? I hope journal writing gives you the chance to reflect, to process, to set free some of those thoughts that have been percolating. Don’t know where to start? Here are some great ideas!
My heart embraces the nostalgia of Christmas memories and I’m increasingly recognizing the importance of writing them down. Our memories may fade with time, but the written word and photographs can make it seem like things were just yesterday.
It’s easy to get lost in the magic, mayhem & busyness of the holidays…let’s pause before the season begins and consider what traditions speak the most to our heart and the hearts of our family members.
I want my children connected to who they really are, connected to our family, connected to their ancestors – so connected that they know an entire host of people are loving them and cheering them on.
The family history activities in the 21-day experience go beyond traditional genealogical tasks. In fact they are short, simple, engaging, fun and can be enjoyed by children and families.
I believe with all my heart that knowing and sharing family stories can strengthen us when times are hard.
I am so grateful to this inspiring ancestor…for reminding me of the power that comes when we choose to rise up in difficult times!
