What a delightful talk you gave yesterday at TAGS. I tried to incorporate the four ideas into my life as I went to an AARP meeting today and met with new people. Thanks again for sharing such fine secrets with us, that we are all capable of doing—listening to our fellow man. - Corrine Jacobson

What is worth remembering...sharing...cherishing?

Perhaps it is a child's birth, or the day you first met someone special, or the simple stories that make your life rich. A few ideas...

Worth remembering

	Favorite stories and significant events
	Your life history, or components of your life history
	Your Legacy Letter: sharing your wisdom with future generations
	Your own recorded 'time capsule' - a snapshot of who you are this year
	Your current list of 100 things you will do in your lifetime
	Favorite things to remember in difficult times

Worth sharing

	Wedding present: gifting friends with a recording of their memories of their first meeting, vows, and joyful moments during their wedding celebration
	A recorded 'love letter' for anyone special to you - your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, children or grandchildren
	Gifts for special times - for example, recording a child for their birthday, or to congratulate a friend for a graduation or life achievement
	A special person's 'time capsule' - for example, given as an annual birthday gift to a spouse
	Read and record a favorite story for a child

Worth cherishing

	Memories of loved ones who have passed
	Conversations with elderly or seriously ill family members, preserving their life and times for future generations
	Special memories - for example, recording your early memories of a favorite uncle
	A family 'time capsule' - perhaps as a yearly event

Presentations

Deep Listening

Deep listening is a simple and powerful communication method used to validate personal experiences and strengthen relationships. This presentation provides a formula for deep listening that is simple to practice and easy to remember. Time is included for practicing the four steps. A component is included to ensure follow up.

Deep Listening for Professionals

This presentation provides a 2-minute version of the deep listening formula. It is especially suited to the needs of staff members who have much work to do, but who also want to keep clear and caring communication at the heart of that work.

Legacy Letters Here and Now

What is a legacy letter and why would I want one? How do I create one? These questions and others are addressed in this mini-workshop. Participants may begin the process of creating their own simple legacy letters which can be comfortably completed later with the Legacy Letter Kit provided to each attendee.

The "100" Series

	100 Favorite Things
	100 Reasons for Gratitude
	100 Places We Have Been
	100 Things We Have Done in Our Lives
	100 Words of Advice - Our Collective Wisdom

Each of the "100" Series presentations is both meaningful and fun. The group works together to find the jewels of wisdom that lie hidden in our everyday lives. The attendees are encouraged to share in a voluntary round-robin format, ending with a brainstorming session to discover ways to utilize the group-generated list.
