Life Notes: A Guided Journal (for Exploring Your Past, Sharing Your Memories, and Honoring Your Life Story)

Product Description
Each person has a unique journey. We create, discover, and experience life differently. Let this guided journal be a safe place to pull back the curtain and express your thoughts, emotions, moments, and memories.
It can be intimidating to stare at the pages of a blank journal, which is why this DIY memoir offers a step-by-step guide to tell your story. Each section starts with a brief mindfulness practice to help focus your attention and settle your thoughts. As you move through the pages, you’ll find questions to help you reflect on and write about your life experiences.
Record your own story, or give the journal to a parent, a grandparent, a mentor, or anyone special in your life. After all, it is the sharing of insights and memories that brings us together, builds bridges of understanding, and reveals our humanity for future generations.
Life Notes is divided into 6 sections: self, values, relationships, gratitude, choices, and insights. Take one section at a time, or skip around―it’s your journey.
