Our Philosophy
We believe that deeper family connections come from conversation and a true understanding of each other's lives. That means we need to share our stories authentically and often. Do you know why people don't tell their stories? Sometimes, it's because they are too humble or they believe their stories are too painful to tell, but most often, people don't tell their stories because no one asked. Well, on behalf of your family, we're asking for your story, and we want to help you tell it just like you would at Sunday dinner. Are you ready to tell yours?
Our Services
We write and/or record your life story for you as books and audio playlists. For the do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts, we help you craft your memoir via online group workshops and (coming soon) online courses.
Have photos that need to be organized or scanned? We can help you preserve the photos that tell your story.
We can also make the end-of-life transition easier for everyone by helping you say what you want to say via Legacy Love Letters.
Why Work With Us
We are committed to helping you save your stories in a way that shows how grateful you are for the life you've led. We believe you have a fascinating story inside of you, and we want to help you share your experiences, beliefs, values, and life lessons with all generations of your family. Family memoirs have transformed how we look at our heritage, our own lives, and ourselves. Please accept our invitation to join our family and leave your positive mark on the world, one story at a time.

I had a life long dream to write a book/memoir about this awesome life I have lived. Michelle asked all the right questions with an unbelievable amount of understanding, empathy, talent, and reality. She taught me more about my own life than what I had already experienced and thought I knew. I am so grateful that Michelle could relate my story with dignity, love, emotion, and finesse. There were some difficult moments in my life, yet Michelle smoothed out my heart and managed to write the moments with grace and faith. I have tears of joy and disbelief each time I read "my life". - Linda Jean Willms Angle, author of Worthy: How Unconditional Love Brought My Life Full Circle
