The Legacy Guide is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to record the facts and memories of their lives. It can be given on almost any occasion, but is particularly appropriate at those life moments that bring to mind the past, the passage of time, and transition from one life era to the next:

• A milestone birthday
  
  
• A family holiday like Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Hanukah
  
  
• The New Year
  
  
• On retirement
  
  
• A family reunion
  
  
• A wedding anniversary
  
  
• On Mother’s Day
  
  
• On Father’s Day
  
  
• On Valentine’s Day
  
  
• On the birth of a child, grandchild, or great grandchild
  
  
• Any life transition, like a move.

   And The Legacy Guide isn’t just a gift for those in their fifties, sixties, seventies, and beyond whose life story you’d like them to record. Think of it for anyone in one of the following situations:

• For those at any age beyond, say, 25 or 30 who want to reflect on their lives to date and where life has brought them.
  
  
• A couple at almost any age, perhaps a couple just entering a serious relationship, who want to share the stories of their lives to date as a way of coming to know each other better.
  
  
• For writers who create characters for their stories. The process laid out in The Legacy Guide is a great way to create the life facts and events that bring a character to life in the writer’s mind and on the page.
  
  
• For journal keepers who like to reflect on their lives and the past.
  
  
• For writers developing a memoir. The Legacy Guide creates the foundation of a memoir (facts, memories, meaning).
  
  
• For those creating scrapbooks of their or their children’s lives. Select pieces of writing from your life story and drop them into scrapbooks. Scrapbooking and The Legacy Guide couldn’t be more natural partners.
  
  
• For anyone who simply wants to revive memories. Recalling rich and meaningful moments from the past can be a source of great pleasure, even if the reader never records a thing.
