Summer invites us outdoors. Families gather for backyard barbecues, weekends at the cottage, vacations, reunions, and evenings spent around the table long after the meal has ended.<\/p><p>If you stop and think about it, some of life&#8217;s greatest stories are shared during moments like these.<\/p><p>Someone recalls their first job.\u00a0A Grandad tells the story of meeting Grandma for the first time. Grandma\u00a0laughs about raising a young family when money was tight.\u00a0An uncle remembers learning to drive.\u00a0A family recipe suddenly comes with a story no one has ever heard before.<\/p><p>We&#8217;ve all experienced these moments.<\/p><p>Someone begins a sentence with, &#8220;Have I ever told you about the time&#8230;&#8221;?\u00a0Suddenly, everyone is listening.<\/p><p>As a Guided Autobiography facilitator, I have the privilege of hearing remarkable stories every week. Yet one thing continues to surprise me.\u00a0The storyteller often believes their story isn&#8217;t very interesting.\u00a0&#8220;It&#8217;s just my life, nobody is interested&#8221;. Sadly,\u00a0I hear those words far too often.\u00a0But to children, grandchildren and even complete strangers, those stories are priceless.<\/p><p>They reveal where we came from.and\u00a0remind us how resilient previous generations were.\u00a0They also help us understand our families but perhaps most importantly, they help us understand and truly appreciate ourselves as we look at our lives retrospectively..<\/p><p>This summer, I&#8217;d like to offer you a simple challenge.\u00a0Askat least one deep and meaningful question.\u00a0Instead of talking about the weather, ask your mother what she remembers about her first home, ask your father what receiving his first paycheque felt like, ask Grandma about the happiest day of her childhood. ask Grandpa what advice he would give his twenty year old self.<\/p><p>Then do something even more important.\u00a0Listen as intently as you possibly\u00a0can.<\/p><p>The older I get, the more I realize that stories are one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. They preserve memories, create understanding, strengthen relationships, and remind us that every life has meaning.<\/p><p>When I left the automotive industry after nearly forty years, I had no idea where life would lead me. Today, I feel incredibly fortunate that it led me here, to helping people preserve the stories that might otherwise be forgotten.<\/p><p>During this beautiful Canadian summer, I hope you&#8217;ll make time to create new memories but don&#8217;t forget to preserve the old ones, one conversation, one question, one story at a time because someday, someone will wish they had asked one more question.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09cdd25 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\"

| Canada day July is one of my favourite months Every life holds lessons, memories and moments worth preserving. July | Canada day Canada Day reminds us of the incredible country we call home. Summer invites us outdoors. Families gather for backyard barbecues, weekends at the cottage, vacations, reunions, and evenings spent around the table long after the meal has ended. If you stop and think about it, some of life&#8217;s greatest stories are shared during moments like these. Someone recalls their first job.\u00a0A Grandad tells the story of meeting Grandma for the first time. Grandma\u00a0laughs about raising a young family when money was tight.\u00a0An uncle remembers learning to drive.\u00a0A family recipe suddenly comes with a story no one has ever heard before. We&#8217;ve all experienced these moments. Someone begins a sentence with, &#8220;Have I ever told you about the time&#8230;&#8221;?\u00a0Suddenly, everyone is listening. As a Guided Autobiography facilitator, I have the privilege of hearing remarkable stories every week. Yet one thing continues to surprise me.\u00a0The storyteller often believes their story isn&#8217;t very interesting.\u00a0&#8220;It&#8217;s just my life, nobody is interested&#8221;. Sadly,\u00a0I hear those words far too often.\u00a0But to children, grandchildren and even complete strangers, those stories are priceless. They reveal where we came from.and\u00a0remind us how resilient previous generations were.\u00a0They also help us understand our families but perhaps most importantly, they help us understand and truly appreciate ourselves as we look at our lives retrospectively.. This summer, I&#8217;d like to offer you a simple challenge.\u00a0Askat least one deep and meaningful question.\u00a0Instead of talking about the weather, ask your mother what she remembers about her first home, ask your father what receiving his first paycheque felt like, ask Grandma about the happiest day of her childhood. ask Grandpa what advice he would give his twenty year old self. Then do something even more important.\u00a0Listen as intently as you possibly\u00a0can. The older I get, the more I realize that stories are one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. They preserve memories, create understanding, strengthen relationships, and remind us that every life has meaning. When I left the automotive industry after nearly forty years, I had no idea where life would lead me. Today, I feel incredibly fortunate that it led me here, to helping people preserve the stories that might otherwise be forgotten. During this beautiful Canadian summer, I hope you&#8217;ll make time to create new memories but don&#8217;t forget to preserve the old ones, one conversation, one question, one story at a time because someday, someone will wish they had asked one more question.
