Presented by Melissa Ann Kitchen
Since losing her parents at a young age, Melissa has placed more importance on preserving her family history and ties to the past. She and her siblings struggled to find many details of their past and longed for stories told in their parents' own words. Melissa believes the Russian proverb, “You live as long as you are remembered,” and so, as a mom, she decided to do a better job building the bridge between generations for her children by documenting family stories to pass along to her future generations. This lecture will discuss:
- How to write inspirational stories that capture your unique voice and personality.
- How to make sure your stories are entertaining and vivid.
- How to create a heartfelt gift for future generations.
Author of Bridging Your Past and Future: The Top 10 Items to Include When Documenting Your Personal History and host of The Preserve Your Past Podcast, Melissa uses her talents as a teacher, counselor, writer, and coach to help others do the same. Her mission is to inspire and support others as they preserve their past through the power of personal stories.
