Our homes are full of belongings including photos, documents, memorabilia and objects. Ever considered the importance of these things and whether your family knows their stories? The best things in life aren’t objects, but they encapsulate memories of people, places, and experiences—our legacy. Look around and choose 2-3 items that narrate your history for each class. Each has a story; what’s yours? You’ll share these in class. P.S. Your children may not want your stuff, but I believe they will want your stories!
Things That Matter
We all have things around our homes that we just can’t seem to get rid of. Sometimes they tell a story.
