By Bobbi McKenna Human beings learn, remember, and live by the stories they tell themselves and each other.  Telling Your Story® Book is an easy, quick, and fun way to write your own personal story or your family story.  Buy it for yourself, your parents, or grandparents.  It's as easy as filling in the blanks.

We’ve all heard the old saying that “History is written by the winners.”  In fact, I have come to believe that "History is written by whomever writes it down.”    If you don’t write down your own story, it is very likely to be lost.  And if you are lucky enough to have someone else write your story, he or she may not write it in a way that you will like.   In Telling Your Story®, you will get a system that will help you tell your own story in a way that not only forms a personal history, a legacy, and an identity, but also increases your understanding of the power of stories in your life and the lives of people you love.   A lot of people have told me that their story isn’t important enough to write — as though there were some kind of “Special Commission” that must rate the merits of your story before you can write it.    Let me say once and for all: You don’t need anyone else’s permission to write a book, or to tell your story.  It’s your story, and it’s your right to tell it. It is, after all, the most important story you could ever write!
