Priceless Legacy Announces Five Steps to Completing a Personal History
The Priceless Legacy Company announced today its "Five Step Plan for Completing a Personal History."
Dallas, Texas (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 3, 2009 -- The Priceless Legacy Company announced today its "Five Step Plan for Completing a Personal History."
The completion of a personal history project has always been important for individuals, families and communities. Whether they are called memoirs, biographies, life stories or family histories, the facts and lessons of our lives have to be preserved for the benefit of current and future generations. A number of alternatives exist for completing this critical task.
Professional historians like members of the Association of Personal Historians do excellent work in helping people organize their thoughts and begin the work. This alternative can be expensive, but many feel that the output is worth the effort and cost.
For those who prefer to do all the work alone, the Priceless Legacy Company offers these five steps for completing a life story project:
1. Begin: The biggest challenge of any life story project is simply the beginning. Whatever method that one employs, it is critical that one begin with the resolution to finish the story. The only failure is to not begin and finish.
2. Prepare: Start with a list of questions and topics. Many references exist on and off line to help you get organized.
3. Collect & Write: Select, label and organize a set number of photographs that are reflective of the chapters of your life. Remember that less can be more. Select representative photographs for various periods, relationships and experiences. Begin writing and / or recording your story by answering the questions you outlined in step two.
4. Review and Edit: Have someone help you edit the text and layout. A fresh set of eyes always helps.
5. Share and Celebrate: Prepare copies of your work for family and friends. Be proud of your accomplishment. You have done a wonderful thing for yourself, your family and your community.
Others choose to work with a Priceless Legacy Consultant who will interview, organize photographs, review drafts and generally help create a beautiful Life Story Package. This choice is straightforward and surprisingly affordable. Details can be found at www.pricelesslegacy.com. Priceless Legacy is also looking for Legacy Consultants around the country who will serve as the "human front end" for the company.
The important take away is that regardless of the method you choose, you need to start and finish. The only failure is not to try and complete. Life Story preservation has always been important. Now it is easy and affordable.
