I am Margot and this is my dream website. A place where I share my life's journey as I live it and remember it. A place to record my experiences good, bad and maybe a little ugly. A place where I can show by example that each life's journey is just a series of stories waiting to be told. A place to learn how to record your life story, your way with a little help from a friend.
Everyone should record their life story. No matter who you are, you have made an impact in the world whether you think so or not. We want to help you save your stories through simple yet meaningful ways. Your life, your journey, start recording it now. Imagine if you found your grandmother's diary or your great grandfather's shop ledger, what wonderful insight into their lives and the time they lived.
Because I am on the same journey as you. I am always looking for new ways to record my story. I am multipassionate about many things but one common thread is history, specifically family history. My family history, all the branches and twigs of my tree, I must investigate and record. I am constantly working on my many-branched family tree but it is mostly just names and dates. While that is a good start and enough for many people, I want to flesh out their lives and wish I had just a tidbit of their story. I am fascinated by diaries, journals, ship's logs and any other item that shows me a glimpse into the life of an ancestor. And I want to leave my story for future generations. It doesn't need to be complicated. I will help you and you will help me. We can keep each other accountible and motivated.
But how do you do that? By recording your life experiences as simple journal entries. It doesn't need to be overwhelming just keep it easy and doable. I am here to help you do just that. I will give you a few ideas, topics to write about and maybe an outline or two. You take my notes and add your own touches and voila you have recorded a story. It may be a single sentence, a bullet list or a whole page but you have created something that will inspire someone else some day. And believe me it will inspire someone.
