- “Without a legacy, every generation starts over.”
- –Edna C. Groves, Founder Words That Endure®
Just like a work of literature, each life is filled with important moments, difficult lessons, significant relationships, losses and healing, and themes that echo through the years. Everyone has such a story. Chronicling your life story gives you the opportunity to:
- Reflect on the formative events and people of your life.
- Communicate and preserve your heritage.
- Share your important life experiences.
- Pass on your values and wisdom.
- Offer blessings and affirmation to your descendants and family.
Put your personal history in writing and you can give a tangible, heirloom gift to those you love.
With her strong belief in the significance of shared stories, Edna C. Groves, personal biographer, speaker, and workshop leader, created Words That Endure® to help people get their stories onto paper. Contact her by e-mail or at 630-204-1650 to find out more.
This is an image of a cutaway of the chambered nautilus shell. A galactic abstraction of it can be seen in the page headers of the WordsThatEndure.com website, and this image is occasionally used on the site as a decorative element. The chambered nautilus—immortalized in the poem, “The Chambered Nautilus,” by Oliver Wendell Holmes—is used by Words That Endure® to symbolize our human journey from the old to the new, smallness to expansion, and protectedness to freedom.
