A Sweethaven Summer (31 page)

I realize not everyone is a born scrapbooker, but I encourage you to share your stories—using whatever method you choose. Journal them, scrapbook them, record them on video—whatever works for you. Because in the end, our stories are what will help us live on.

I can’t thank you enough for reading this book. I’m overflowing with appreciation and excited to connect with you. I hope you’ll visit my blog at
www.courtneywalsh.typepad.com
and maybe even let me in on one or two of your stories. There’s nothing that I would love more.
