Write Your Story - Educational
In this episode, Angela reignites the lost art of documenting your life story in letters. Instead of simply recording events and facts, the beauty of the letter format invites you to speak directly to those you care about, sharing personal reflections, wisdom, and everyday details as if you are writing to them across time. Think of each letter as a conversation - sometimes heartfelt, sometimes playful, that captures your experiences and the relationships with those who will one day read your words. Ideas, tips end encouragement on how to apply this technique are provided. Write your Story is a series of stories, written and narrated by their authors. These "new" authors bring us a story they have put together recently and share with us all.
