Since turning 80, I have written and published three books of stories based on my rich and varied life. Raising four sons. Remodeling houses in Mexico. Running a tutoring center for dyslexic students. Walking across America in the Great Peace March.
Every day I continue to write. And to speak to audiences about the pleasures in telling our stories. To people who are intimidated by writing their lives, I say, “Write your lives one tale at a time. Remember, you don’t have to start at the beginning.”
You can access my website here for more information about my books and my journey to becoming a memoir author.
Gran I am so glad that you have this up, it is a perfect way to keep us all involved
It warms my heart to read that you wrote and published two books since turning 80. A family friend, who was so supportive of my work, didn’t have the courage to follow her own dreams. She thought she was too old. We are never too old. What an inspiration you are!
Laura, I left a message on your website. Cheers, Donna
