Smilestones (a division of Word's Worth)
Life's path has milestones wrapped in rich stories (smilestones) of pivotal people, impacting events, landmark achievements, anniversaries. Honour yours with a
- ♦ personal memoir, corporate biography, or profile
- ♦ celebratory event, tribute, or good-humoured 'roast'; or a
- ♦ workshop or story circle to spark your own life writing and reflection.
For loved ones
Share the sentiment of times well lived – the phenominal friends, the (mis)adventures, the Sunday supper stories full of family characters and quirks and "another funny thing...".Don't let old photo albums open silently. Capture your storytelling – even of hardship, often eased by moving forward in reflection – in poems, books, or other creative expression.
Or, if not written, memories may still find a voice in story circles, workshops, interviews – all by this gifted facilitator, with options for audio/transcription – to honour smilestones whether or not you ever put pen to paper.
For business
Keepsake books for retirees/clients, lessons learned, spinoff PR: organizational memory is valued and better remembered if written (as your perspective, not others' best guesses).Tribute events
Much like This Is Your Life shows or friendly celebrity roasts in the 1970s, gather to commemorate your honouree with nostalgic touchpoints, anecdotes, even a little goodwill teasing. As wordsmith, Sandy's glad to script (or polish) presenters' notes, craft a memento CD or e-book, or host as MC for festivities to rekindle smilestones through years to come.
Call on your wordsmith to celebrate and commemorate smilestone recollections.
