The Journaling Memories process brings together the adventure of recalling the many thoughts and memories accumulated throughout life. To stimulate individual thought and recall, this organized process offers hundreds of thought-provoking questions or cues spanning fifty plus identified life areas. This concept was inspired by the journals of my father who passed away 20 years ago at the age of 95. In handwritten form, he recounted in a structured way, many of the events and lessons of his full life experience. In his journal he left a lasting memory for current and future generations, including my immediate family. His life stories, and messages have become an invaluable emblem of his inspiration for the future. Excerpts of his writings offer testimony to the challenges and conditions of his time. The writings also remind readers of the importance of maintaining a perspective from past events to better understand the present and give hope for the future. To illustrate the limits and hardships of travel in his time, he wrote,"In 1918 It took 23 days to drive from Los Angele to Johnstown, N.Y. The same trip was 18 days in 1923." He added that the family traveled across the country, in a new Buick along with his dad, mom, brother and aunt Florence. They also brought their dog and loaded the car with camping gear and a large cupboard filled with food for the trip. These items were all attached to the running board of the car. In his later years he discussed his numerous illnesses and the lack of serious medical attention. He noted that in 1928, "He had the dentist remove 4 molars without anesthetic." Then, in the same year, he noted that "the dentist removed an additional 2 teeth but the event was complicated when a needle broke off in the jaw." Finally, he added that in the following years, "all his remaining teeth were extracted and replaced with full dentures." His words made it clear how his memories offer perspective and can live on with importance impacting our family and future generations. What I found most inspiring, however, were his journal entries from a few years before his passing. In them, he described his experience progressing through various age milestones. In one case, he wrote that there was "no need to explain age 85. You will have lost various niceties of life. but you can remember how nice they were. No one ever asks you for advice, but you have memories of a past that will sustain you beautifully and a family that loves you." Through my dad's journal it became clear that such memories can be a significant element of understanding the past, living in the current world and preparing, with hope, for a better future. The goal of the Journaling Memories process is to offer users an organized process to recall and record life memories and, leave a record of experiences, insights, values, and hope for future generations.

The quest for universal health coverage (UHC) has gathered real momentum over the past decade, with countries on every continent now taking part. This is welcome news, since a lack of universal coverage means that hundreds of millions of people around the world either do not get the health care services they need, or they have to pay dearly for them, often falling into poverty as a result. But the UHC agenda also poses an enormous challenge to policy makers across the globe, and many countries are eager to learn from the experiences of others as they undertake the long journey toward UHC. Going Universal: How 24 Developing Countries Are Implementing Universal Health Coverage Reforms from the Bottom Up draws on a wealth of new evidence to help enrich the global knowledge base on UHC. It provides a synthesis of UHC reform programs that placed a special focus on expanding coverage in ways inclusive of the poor. The main objective was to document and analyze their experiences based on a systematic data collection effort that sought to capture in great detail how they have been implementing UHC reforms. The main chapters oer an in-depth analysis of how countries are addressing five key challenges: covering people, expanding benefits, managing money, improving the supply of health care services, and strengthening accountability. The UHC reform programs described in the volume are new, massive, and transformational. Most were launched during the past decade, and together they now cover more than 2 billion people. But most importantly, the authors find that the programs are fundamentally changing the way health systems operate, offering the potential to achieve greater equity and better results for the money spent. The authors identify key risks that lie ahead, as well as an emerging agenda that requires more country and global learning. Overall, this book offers those contributing to the achievement of UHC worldwide a valuable new resource to help chart a way forward.
