| Messsage from Moving Forward from the Heart |
In the past years I contributed articles to a local Recreation Guide and to the island magazine, Island Gals.
I even got my photo with others on the cover of Volume 2 Issue 3.
It's weird how things come later in life that are so unexpected, no prior thoughts or talent.
I guess it just started with writing memos and other things at work so I felt comfortable putting words on paper but where did these new and different words come from?
I've talked to other writers as well who just found a safe place to put down their words and it just starts to flow with ease.
The words may flow but our lives usually don't sound like
Story Books, TV and the Movies!
Story Books, TV and the Movies!
They're not documented and only a few get mentioned years later in a book about the town history, a project, major event or YUCK, when someone writes our obituary.
How do we get our past and the past of other relatives or friends into the family/world archives for others to see in the years to come.
The Meditation Stories to Tell, in my book Moving Forward from the Heart talks about how lots of old stories may have been true or untrue, some are made into songs or movies, scary campfire tales and others get forgotten or not shared.
Life changes so much we forget to remember them and pass on those different times and places.
Some of us may be lucky to have family tree books that list the past generations and lots of info used to be kept in old Bibles.

What if we could think about and pass on some of our memories and stories so they don't get forgotten. Perhaps we could write a bit about our lives and also talk about our parents, grandparents and other relatives - take them into the future as well.
I know my children and grandchildren don't know much about past generations and I think those we write about would be Thankful that we remembered them, their journey and struggles in life and for being like us, just doing the best they could do.

As our lives & technology change so fast it is hard to remember life before computers, cell phones, fast food and all we have today.
How did they survive?
Something to think about.
Hey, you may find a new passion in writing!
