Our memories are unique to us and, arguably, define who we really are. A memoir is the best possible way to safeguard and preserve them.
The best kind of memoir is not, necessarily, a chronological account of your life. It should be more a recollection of the events that - for diverse reasons - have meant most to you and can be retold, ideally, as stories about those events and the people and places involved.
This site is brought to you in association with Seer Green and Jordans branch of the world-wide Rotarian organisation and its mission to provide, with your help, support of almost every kind, around the world.
50% of all revenues goes to Rotary to expand their work.
How does it work?
Your subscription creates a secure and interactive password protected site exclusive and confidential to you to enable you to easily look back over the years and simply type in whatever comes to mind. You are assisted in this by various prompts designed to trigger a wide range of memories from which you can select to include in your memoir. These include visual images and, perhaps even more effectively, a wide variety of sounds which seem to be even more effective in prompting recall.
During a process of retrieval memories that once seemed to stand on their own may suddenly become connected. You are, metaphorically, climbing a gentle incline to a crest that will enable you to look back and see things laid out before you as in a landscape with its various features and landmarks. Their relationship to one another can, suddenly, become clear - even revelatory. These are the moments that can generate the all-important “reflections” on life and add the real value to the process and to your memoir.

When you saw through an oak tree you see the individual rings that depict each year of its life. From from the size and nature of each ring it is possible to determine just what sort of year any particular year was. We do not have such rings but, if we are lucky, like an oak tree, we have retained our memories of times past. However, unlike the oak, the longer we live, the chance of our "memory rings" remaining sound and solid, wains. This site, is very simple. It is designed to capture memories for all time while they remain intact. You will also find that we have made the process simple and enjoyable.
