Finding the courage to tell our own story can be one of the most powerful acts of self-discovery. Yet for many, the first hurdle is believing our story is worth telling. Local writer Jan Ballantyne knows this journey well. With years of reflection and writing behind her, Jan shares the story of “How and Why I Started Documenting My Memories”, and the joy this creative process has brought into her life. Her insights remind us that every story matters - especially our own. As a delightful bonus, Jan treats us to another story from her collection titled “Memories of Cabbage!”- proof that even the simplest memory can blossom into something special when given a voice. Write your Story is a series of stories, written and narrated by their authors. These "new" authors bring us a story they have put together recently and share with us all.
