SHARE YOUR LIFE STORY
SHARE YOUR LIFE STORY
Reading about (or just viewing or hearing about) others' unique life experiences greatly enriches our own life experiences, by adding depth, dimension, appreciation, humor, excitement, for life human life and death, themselves.
Each life is fascinating . Each life is extraordinary. No matter what the person did for a living, where or when they lived, who they were , their stories are engrossing!
I never weary of reading slave narratives, for example , the heroic tales of our amazing ancestors. There literally are thousands of them still waiting to be read, containing enough inspiration, wit, courage, energy, faith, strength to move mountains; to cross or to ford many rivers: raging rivers, frozen, or placid ones, in the singular quest to be free, to live, to breathe, to produce, and ultimately to reproduce!
Your own life is just as interesting! Sharing bits and pieces of your life's story with the public in some form fuels the ages to come with renewed faith, hope and love. What else, after all, are the gospels? The Testaments?
