Seize the day!
Repay the gift of your life by helping loved ones record the story of theirs.
Everyone has at least one story to tell - the story of their life. Once written, it is there for all time, a permanent record that will fascinate future generations, and give joy and peace to vulnerable people who desperately want to leave their life story behind for their descendants but are unable to write it themselves.
Statistics certify that 80% of Australians, and most English-speaking countries, give to charities annually, and this is one of the most rewarding services of all, for both parties!
Apostle's advice remains current to this day: "It is more blessed to give than to receive". Having found your own identity, spiritual satisfaction, and peace-with-self, you can give your time and skills to help people record their life story and attain self-esteem, self-discovery, and self-healing.
The Gift of Biography has been written to firstly teach you the skills and rubrics required to become a volunteer biographer, and there are exercise chapters for you to learn how to write a mini biography of your own. Taking on the role of 'Director', you will guide the Sessions, translate the recordings, and ultimately produce a pre-agreed tome of your loved-one's biography. He or she will become your 'Client', from the first Session you conduct to the handing over of their most treasured gift.
If you are seeking a new and rewarding purpose in life, it doesn't come better than this.
