Presentations and Workshops
Deb would be delighted to speak to your group or organization on one of the following topics:
How to Write Your Own Life Story
"10 Tips for Writing Your Own Life Story" will be presented. Through writing tips and examples, participants will gain confidence to record
their memories on paper. Examples will serve as inspiration for participants, who will then spend time writing a story of their own from a
directed writing prompt. If time, workshop members will share their written memories.
Saving Lives....One Story at a Time
There's an old saying that people die twice - once when they physically die, and a second time when they are forgotten.
This presentation focuses on making you and your ancestors unforgettable by adding the stories behind the names and dates on your family tree.
Tips and techniques will be presented to help you get started preserving the stories of five (or more!) generations of your family.
Cooking Up Good Memories
This workshop explores the many good memories associated with food, family, friends and meals. Participants will be asked to bring three of
their recipes to share. We'll focus on writing the stories behind the recipes and give tips to increase participants' writing skills. Attendees will
then write vignettes about one of the recipes and the memories it invokes. If time permits, participants will share their stories with the group.
Life in a Brown Paper Bag
Participants will be asked to bring three objects to the workshop in a brown paper bag that evoke special memories. Toys, photographs, old tools,
clothing, china or jewelry often bring a flood of remembrances. Following some examples and writing tips, attendees will write and share the stories
behind their memorabilia.
Let Your Photos Tell the Story
What's worse than a box or drawer full of old, unidentified photographs? This workshop illustrates the pleasures of photo journaling to tell the stories
behind the pictures. Participants will be asked to bring three photographs to the session that bring back memories - happy, sad, bittersweet. They will
spend time journaling about the photos and sharing their stories.
