How does it work?
Once your loved one enrolls in a course, they’ll get a confirmation text followed by weekly lessons sent straight to their phone. Each lesson includes:
a specific memory prompt
a writing assignment (that’s easily adaptable based on your skill and preferences)
tips for getting both their memories & their words flowing
They’ll also get lots of inspiration & bonus resources to download, which will be helpful in all their future life story writing.
Each course lasts 8 weeks.
Why now?
Because now is always the right time to begin preserving your families’ stories!
Inviting your parent or grandparent to tell their stories is another way to say “I love you” 💕
And getting them on board is more than a way to stay connected (especially during this disconnected time)—it’s also a way to bring some joy into their lives. Writing about their cherished memories will be both fun and meaningful.
Don’t wait until their memories start to fade or until a time they may be less busy—invite them and they will make the time!
Why text messages?
A text is immediate, and it won’t get lost in your overflowing email in-box. You’re more inclined to not ignore it.
The format challenged me as your course creator, too—to be concise with my tips, and to break things down into bite-size chunks.
Oh, and studies from Stanford & Penn State have shown that texts are amongst the most effective ways to learn and retain information.
If you’re enrolling from outside the U.S., you have the option to choose WhatsApp for delivery as well.
Because your family stories matter! They are a gift to your mom, your dad, to you AND to the next generation.
currently offering two courses: childhood memories & food memories
At just $15 for each 8-week mini-course, pretty much anyone can take advantage of this learning opportunity.
There’s no subscription fee or annual membership required (unlike other weekly family history Q&A prompts we know of!). And since courses are broken into themes, you only need pay for those topics that interest you.
You choose what time of day you would like to receive your weekly lessons. You choose which theme you would like to explore.
You may write in a journal or type on your computer.
And you have a whole week to ruminate on your memory prompts & write your stories. Enough time to let the details bubble up, to call a sibling or parent to talk about the past, or to search for an old family photo album with pictures to help jog your thoughts—but not so much time that you don’t get to it at all. Because next week, another memory prompt and writing exercise is coming!
With concise, RELEVANT writing tips from a professional, you will feel supported on your journey of capturing your stories.
Our goal: To help you write stories that are engaging and enlightening—that will entertain your ancestors with anecdotes, sure, but that go further by delving into life lessons, values, and the journey to becoming you!
Invite someone you love to share their childhood memories!
Specific prompts make it easy & fun.
