LYTE BYTES

EACH HEART IS DIFFERENT
&
EACH HEART HAS A DIFFERENT STORY

Have you ever wondered about your great, great grandparents? Where did they grow up? How did they meet? What were their dreams?

Someday, someone will be wondering about you. Someone will long to hear your tale, understand your values, and learn from your experiences.

No matter your age, now is the time to write your story. One way is to separate your life into stages: early childhood, childhood, teen years, young adulthood, middle years, and onward. Share a memory from each timeframe.

Besides factual data like birthplace, include your emotional reactions to your surroundings. Open your heart and let your feelings, ideas, and beliefs spill out.

Besides milestones like marriage, include ordinary incidents especially those, which made a difference. Often small events make the biggest impact.

Besides established accomplishments like graduations, include personal achievements. What were your quests? What brought you joy? What made you laugh? What made you cry? Who were your heroes? What gave you peace?

While I’m certain your story will be an inspiring gift to future generations, I warn you, your story will surprise you.
