Whether we wish to leave a legacy for our loved ones or simply keep a memory alive, when writing a memoir, we embark on a personal journey. This journey can sometimes tell the story of what brought us from tragedy to transformation. It may reveal wisdom, wit, or warm the heart and will help participants find their muse in memoir writing. Write, remember, and reflect on what has been longing to be written. Please bring a journal or notebook to class.
