Begin Your Memoir Today! A Silent Passion to Write.
Many people with a story to tell contact me with the desire, even an urgency to write their memoir. They have begun some stories, only to have the inner critic or fears of what the family will say about writing a deeply personal story stop them. They go silent, afraid even to journal about their feelings and memories, leaving them with a haunting sense that something is incomplete inside. They have silenced their inner voice, and they don’t know how to find it.
