I just returned from a trip to New York City, where I attended the Holiday Gift Show. I visited with lots of media, and interacted with loads of entreprenuers with a wide variety of gift ideas. Perhaps my favorite was the Money Savvy Piggy Bank, which helps children learn to collect their allowance for spending, savings, donation, and investment. My two sons each have one, and are learning great life lessons. It’s a wonderful gift for children. Find it at www.MSGen.com.
Among the media in attendance, there was a lot of enthusiasm in the ArchivaLife booth, as family and personal history-keeping is starting to become viral. People are learning how important their family history is. They want to tell their stories, and they want to know about their ancestors. To the extent that you lose stories two or three generations back, you can break that cycle by recording stories for yourself, your parents, and if you’re really blessed, your grandparents.
I feel honored to be playing my small part in capturing vital life stories. What are you doing to preserve your family’s story?
