A Hidden Passion

For years you’ve dreamed of putting your life down in memoir. But now you ask yourself, “is my life really that interesting?” “How do I even begin?” Remember! Your story is unique, gripping, and heart-warming; a key to your life.

Writing your memoir and sending it out to the world (or just to your children and grandchildren) makes meaning of your life. A memoir validates your experiences, displaying the passages you took and those you did not.

With a multitude of experiences behind you, you’re in the right place to discover your inner writer. This is the right time to realize a long-held dream. To help you on your way, give yourself a free license to tell your tale.

Through the years of working with psychotherapy clients and pursuing my own healing, I learned the desire to write is as urgent as the hunger for air, food, or sleep. No amount of food, money, or sex can fulfill the soul satisfaction that writing your tale can bring.

Towering like clouds behind the daily paths of life are unseen questions:

• Who am I?
• Have I left scratches on the rock, footprints in the sand?
• Will my deeds be remembered?

A memoir answers those questions. It gives life significance and value. Perhaps you are confused about this ancient desire to write. You are not clear about what you want to write or even why you want to write. Or whether you have the talent to write.

I am here to tell you that the only prerequisite for becoming a writer is a genuine desire to write. Behind that desire is a hidden passion, the unbridled creativity you had as a child before the adult world’s strictures submerged it. You write because you love to write. What matters is the pull to write. It’s energy waiting for transformation.

Your desire to write is as strong as the primal need for love.

And that desire is all you need to begin.
